WARNING
Continued use of the climate control
system operation in Recirculation
mode for a prolonged period of
time may cause drowsiness to the
occupants in the cabin. This may lead
to loss of vehicle control which may
lead to an accident.

system operation in Recirculation
mode with the A/C OFF may allow
humidity to increase inside the
cabin. This may cause condensation
to accumulate on the windshield and
obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in your vehicle or
remain parked in your vehicle with
the windows up and either the
heater or the air conditioning ON for
prolonged periods of time. Doing so
may increase the levels of carbon
dioxide in the cabin which may lead
to serious injury or death.

6. Driving your vehicle

Driving your vehicle
6-4
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.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:
NEVER allow children or any person
who is unfamiliar with the vehicle to
touch the ignition switch or related
parts. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur.
NEVER reach through the steering
wheel for the ignition switch, or any
other control, while the vehicle is in
motion. The presence of your hand
or arm in this area may cause a loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
Key ignition switch (if equipped)
OTM060051L

[C] : ON, [D] : START
Whenever the front door is opened, the
ignition switch will illuminate, provided
the ignition switch is not in the ON

go off after about 30 seconds when the
door is closed. (if equipped)
WARNING
NEVER turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK or ACC position while the
vehicle is in motion except in an
emergency.
This will result in the engine turning
off and loss of power assist for the
steering and brake systems. This may
lead to loss of directional control and
braking function, which could cause
an accident.
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift lever is
in 1st gear (for manual transmission
vehicle) or P (Park, for automatic
transmission vehicle) position, apply
the parking brake, and turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK position.
Unexpected vehicle movement may
occur if these precautions are not
followed.
NOTICE
Never use aftermarket keyhole covers.
This may generate start-up failure due
to communication failure.
