and  recommendations  throughout
this section, and throughout this man-
ual. The safety precautions in this sec-
tion are among the most important.
Always wear your seat belt 
A  seat  belt  is  your  best  protection  in
all  types  of  accidents. Air  bags  are
designed  to  supplement  seat  belts,
not  replace  them. So  even  though
your vehicle is equipped with air bags,
ALWAYS  make  sure  you  and  your
passengers wear your seat belts, and
wear them properly.
Restrain all children 
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in
a rear seat, not the front seat. Infants
and  small  children  should  be
restrained  in  an  appropriate  child
restraint. Larger  children  should  use
a  booster  seat  with  the  lap/shoulder
belt  until  they  can  use  the  seat  belt
properly without a booster seat.
Air bag hazards 
Whilst  air  bags  can  save  lives,  they
can  also  cause  serious  or  fatal
injuries  to  occupants  who  sit  too
close  to  them,  or  who  are  not  prop-
erly  restrained. Infants,  young  chil-
dren,  and  short  adults  are  at  the
greatest  risk  of  being  injured  by  an
inflating  air  bag. Follow  all  instruc-
tions and warnings in this manual.
Driver distraction 
Driver  distraction  presents  a  serious
and  potentially  deadly  danger,  espe-
cially for inexperienced drivers. Safety
should  be  the  first  concern  when
behind the wheel and drivers need to
be aware of the wide array of potential
distractions,  such  as  drowsiness,
reaching  for  objects,  eating,  personal
grooming,  other  passengers,  and
using mobile phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention off
the road or their hands off the wheel
to focus on activities other than driv-
ing. To reduce your risk of distraction
and an accident:
•ALWAYS set up your mobile devices
(i.e.,  MP3  players,  phones,  naviga-
tion  units,  etc.)  when  your  vehicle  is
parked or safely stopped.
•ONLY use your mobile device when
allowed  by  laws  and  conditions  per-
mit  safe  use. NEVER  text  or  email
whilst  driving. Most  countries  have
laws  prohibiting  drivers  from  texting.
Some  countries  and  cities  also  pro-
hibit  drivers  from  using  handheld
phones.
