Safe Driving
■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 tire pressures and condition 
frequently, and perform all re gularly scheduled maintenance.

Some of the most important safe ty precautions are given here.
However, we cannot warn you of every  conceivable hazard that can arise in 
performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform 
a given task.

away from the battery and all fuel related parts.

gasoline.

compressed air.
