belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that
all the doors and the
liftgate are locked.
 Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while keeping good visibility,and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls. Check the instrument panel indicators and multi-information display for any possible prob- lem.  Similarly, the front
passenger seat should
also be moved as fa
r back as possible.
 Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selectin
g the defroster mode,
and set the blower switch on high. You should be able to feel the air blowing against thewindshield. Refer to “Defrosti
ng or defogging (wind-
shield, door windows)” on page 7-10, 7-16. Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails,glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or
sidewall cracks. Check
the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires(including spare tire) for proper pressure.

ine floor mat.

oor mat while clean-
ing the inside of you
r vehicle or for any
other reason, always
