Driving your vehicle

Before entering the vehicle
•	Be sure all windows, outside mirror(s), 
and outside lights are clean and 
unobstructed.
•	 Remove frost, snow, or ice.
•	 Visually check the tires for uneven 
wear and damage.
•	 Check under the vehicle for any sign 
of leaks.
•	 Be sure there are no obstacles behind 
you if you intend to back up.
Before starting
•	Make sure the hood, the liftgate, and 
the doors are securely closed and 
locked.
•	 Adjust the position of the seat and 
steering wheel.
•	 Adjust the inside and side view 
mirrors.
•	 Verify all the lights work.
•	 Fasten your seat belt. Check that all 
passengers have fastened their seat 
belts.
•	 Check the gauges and indicators 
in the instrument panel and the 
messages on the instrument display 
when the ignition switch is in the ON 
position.
•	 Check that any items you are carrying 
are stored properly or fastened down 
securely.
 WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or 
DEATH, take the following precautions:
•	ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All 
passengers must be properly belted 
whenever the vehicle is moving. 
For more information, refer to “Seat 
Belts” section in chapter 3.
•	 Always drive defensively. Assume 
other drivers or pedestrians 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.
 WARNING
NEVER drink or take drugs and drive.
Drinking or taking drugs and driving 
is dangerous and may result in an 
accident and SERIOUS 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, 
perceptions and judgment. Just 
one drink can reduce your ability to 
respond to changing conditions and 
emergencies and your reaction time 
gets worse with each additional drink.
Driving while under the influence 
of drugs is as dangerous or more 
dangerous than driving under the 
influence of alcohol.
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 
driver or call a taxi.
