NEVER drink or take drugs and
drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and
driving is dangerous and may
result in an accident and SERI-
OUS INJURY or DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number
one contributor to the highway
death toll each year. Even a
small amount of alcohol will
affect your reflexes, percep-
tions and judgment. Just one
drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions
and emergencies and your reac-
tion time gets worse with each
additional drink.
Driving while under the influ-
ence of drugs is as dangerous
or more dangerous than driving
under the influence of alcohol.
WARNING You are much more likely to have
a serious accident if you drink or
take drugs and drive. If you are
drinking or taking drugs, don't
drive. Do not ride with a driver
who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driv-
er or call a taxi.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
•ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
All passengers must be prop-
erly belted whenever the vehi-
cle is moving. For more infor-
mation, refer to "Seat Belts" in
chapter 2.
Always drive defensively.
Assume other drivers or pedes-
trians may be careless and
make mistakes.
Stay focused on the task of
driving. Driver distraction can
cause accidents.
Leave plenty of space between
you and the vehicle in front of
you.

To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
NEVER allow children or any
person who is unfamiliar with
the vehicle to touch the
POWER button or related
parts. Unexpected and sud-
den vehicle movement can
occur.
NEVER reach through the
steering wheel for the POWER
button or any other control,
while the vehicle is in motion.
The presence of your hand or

loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident.
WARNING
OOSEV058002K
To turn the vehicle off in an
emergency:
Press and hold the POWER but-
ton for more than two seconds
OR Rapidly press and release
the POWER button three times
(within three seconds).
If the vehicle is still moving, you

WARNING
NEVER press the POWER but-
ton while the vehicle is in
motion except in an emer-
gency. This will result in the

power assist for the steering
and brake systems. This may
lead to loss of directional con-
trol and braking function,
which could cause an accident.

always make sure the gear is in
