IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout
this section, and throughout this man-
ual. The safety precautions in this
section are among the most impor-
tant.
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 inju-
ries to occupants who sit too close to
them, or who are not properly
restrained. Infants, young children,
and short adults are at the greatest
risk of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Follow all instructions and warn-
ings 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 drowsi-
ness, reaching for objects, eating,
personal grooming, other passen-
gers, 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 devic-
es (i.e., MP3 players, phones, navi-
gation 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 prohibit-
ing drivers from texting. Some
countries 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 condi-
tions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
Keep your vehicle in safe
condition
Having a tyre blowout or a mechani-
cal failure can be extremely hazard-
ous. To reduce the possibility of such
problems, check your tyre pressures
and condition frequently, and perform
all regularly scheduled maintenance.
