WARNING
■General precautions while driving 
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ- 
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impair ed your ability to operate your vehi- 
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay  reaction time, impair judgment and 
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury. 
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other 
drivers or pedestrians might make  and be ready to avoid accidents. 
Driver distraction: Always give your  full attention to driving. Anything that 
distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or 
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others. 
■ General precaution regarding children’s safety 
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to 
have or use the key. 
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. 
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with 
the windows, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or 
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
