Safe Driving
For Safe Driving
The following pages explain your vehicle’s safety features and how to use them properly. The safety precautions below are ones that we consider to be among the most important. Important Safety PrecautionsDon’t Drink and Drive
■
Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. So don’t drink and drive, and don’t let your friends drink and drive, either.
Pay Appropriate Attention to the Task of Driving Safely
■
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead to a crash. Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to divert some attention away from driving.
Control Your Speed
■
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds. Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum speed posted.
Keep Your Vehicle in Safe Condition
■
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous. To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tires’ pressure and condition frequently, and perform all regularly scheduled maintenance.
Important Safety Precautions
Some states, provinces and territories prohibit the use of cell phones (other than hands-free devices) by the driver while driving.

Airbags Front Airbags (SRS)
Operation
■
Front airbags are designed to inflate during a moderate-to-severe frontal collision. When the vehicle decelerates suddenly, the sensors send information to the control unit which signals one or both front airbags to inflate. A frontal collision can be either head-on or angled between two vehicles, or when a vehicle crashes into a stationary object, such as a concrete wall.
How the Front Airbags Work
■
While your seat belt restrains your torso, the front airbag provides supplemental protection for your head and chest. The front airbags deflate immediately so that they won’t interfere with the driver’s visibility or the ability to steer or operate other controls.
The total time for inflation and deflation is so fast that most occupants are not aware that the airbags deployed until they see them lying in front of them.
How the Front Airbags Work
After a front airbag inlates in a crash, you may see what looks like smoke. This is actually powder from the airbag's surface. Although the powder is not harmful, people with respiratory problems may experience some temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get out of the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Although the driver's and passenger's airbags normally inlate within a split second of each other, it is possible for only one airbag to deploy. This can
happen if the severity of a collision is at the mar gin,
or threshold, that determines whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide suficient protection, and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.

Child Safety Protecting Child Passengers
Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in
●
an approved child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using the lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt. Never hold a small child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in
●
the event of a collision.Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt would
●
likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very
●
seriously injured in a crash.Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows or seat adjustments.
●
Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weather when
●
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could also activate vehicle controls causing it to move unexpectedly.
Protecting Child Passengers
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way. To remind you of the passenger's front airbag hazards and child safety, your vehicle has warning labels on the dashboard (U.S. models) and on the front visors. Please read and follow the instructions on these labels.
Safety Labels P. 6 5
WARNING
Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or wrap one around their neck can result in serious injury or death. Instruct children not to play with any seat belt and make sure any unused seat belt a child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, and locked.
