Driving safety and protection against injurycannot be fully ensured. However, we recom-mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-lowing:Before starting the vehicle, make sure thatyou and your passengers have fastened yourseat belts.zNever leave your vehicle unattended withthe key and children inside the vehicle.Children may play with the driving con-trols and this could lead to an accident.zMake sure that infants and small childrenare properly restrained in accordance withthe laws and regulations, and for maxi-mum protection in case of an accident.zPrevent children from playing in the lug-gage compartment. It is quite dangerousto allow them to play there while the vehi-cle is moving.
When loading luggage, be careful not to loadabove the height of seats. This is dangerousnot only because rearward vision will beobstructed, but also the luggage may be pro-jected into the passenger compartment underhard braking.
