You will find many safety precautions and
recommendations throughout this sec-
tion, and throughout this manual. The
safety precautions in this section 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 chil-
dren 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
While 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 properly restrained.
Infants, young children, and shorter
adults are at the greatest risk of being
injured by an inflating air bag. Follow all
instructions and warnings in this manual.
Driver Distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and
potentially deadly danger, especially 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 cellular 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 driving. To reduce
your risk of distraction or getting into an
accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobile devices
(i.e., MP3 players, phones, navigation
units, etc.) when your vehicle is parked
or safely stopped.
ONLY use your mobile device when allowed by laws and when conditions
permit safe use. NEVER text or email while driving.
Most states have laws prohibiting driv-
ers from texting. Some states and
cities also prohibit drivers from using
handheld phones.
NEVER let the use of a mobile device distract you from driving. You have a
responsibility to your passengers and
others on the road to always drive
safely, with your hands on the wheel as
well as your eyes and attention on the
road.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 regularly
scheduled maintenance.
