Safety Precautions When Driving
6■Child Safety
WARNING
Never hold a child on your lap or
in your arms while the vehicle is
moving. The passenger cannot
protect the child from injury in a
collision, because the child will
be caught between the passenger
and objects inside the vehicle. While riding in th e vehicle, infants
and small children should always
be seated in the REAR seat in an
infant or child restraint system
which is appropriate for the
child’s age, height and weight. If a
child is too big for a child
restraint system, the child should
sit in the REAR seat and be
restrained using the seatbelts.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating
positions. Never allow a child to
stand up or kneel on the seat.
 Place children in the REAR seat
properly restrained at all times in
a child restraint system or in a
seatbelt. The SRS airbag deploys
with considerable speed and
force and can injure or even kill
children, especially if they are not
restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater. NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT.
DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH TO THE
CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S
HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS
AIRBAG. Always lock the passengers’
windows using the lock switch
when children are riding in the
vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury
to a child operating the power
window. Refer to "Windows"
 P116.
 Never leave unattended children,
adults or animals in the vehicle.
They could accidentally injure
themselves or others through
inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny
days, temperature in a closed
vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to them. Help prevent children, adults or
animals from locking themselves
in the trunk. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the trunk
could quickly become high
enough to cause death or serious
heat-related injuries including
brain damage to anyone locked
inside, particularly for small chil-
dren. When leaving the vehicle, close
all windows and lock all doors.
Also make certain that the trunk
is closed.

Safety Precautions When Driving

Introduction
– CONTINUED –
For instructions and precautions, carefully
read the following sections.
 For the seatbelt system, refer to "Seat-
belts"  P39.
 For the child restraint system, refer to
"Child Restraint Systems" P46.
 For the SRS airbag system, refer to
"SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint
System Airbag)" P60.
■ Engine Exhaust Gas (Carbon
Monoxide)
■Drinking and Driving
Put children aged 12 and under or
1.5 m (4 feet 11 inches) tall or less
in the REAR seat properly
restrained at all times in a child
restraint system or in a seatbelt.
The SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force
and can injure or even kill chil-
dren, especially if they are 12
years of age and under or 1.5 m (4
feet 11 inches) tall or less and are
not restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater.
WARNING
 Never inhale engine exhaust gas.
Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas which is
dangerous, or even lethal, if
inhaled. Always properly maintain the
engine exhaust system to prevent
engine exhaust gas from entering
the vehicle. Never run the engine in a closed
space, such as a garage, except
for the brief time needed to drive
the vehicle in or out of it. Avoid remaining in a parked
vehicle for a long time while the
engine is running. If that is
unavoidable, then use the ventila-
tion fan to force fresh air into the
vehicle. Always keep the front ventilator
inlet grille free from snow, leaves
or other obstructions to ensure
that the ventilation system
always works properly.
 If at any time you suspect that
exhaust fumes are entering the
vehicle, have the problem
checked and corrected as soon
as possible. If you must drive
under these conditions, drive
only with all windows fully open. Keep the trunk lid closed while
driving to prevent exhaust gas
from entering the vehicle.
WARNING
Drinking and then driving is very
dangerous. Alcohol in the blood-
stream delays your reaction and
impairs your perception, judgment
and attentiveness. If you drive after
drinking even if you drink just a lit-
tle it will increase the risk of being
involved in a serious or fatal acci-
dent, injuring or killing yourself,
your passengers and others. In
addition, if you are injured in the
accident, alcohol may increase the
severity of that injury.Please don’t drink and drive.

■Folding Down the Rear Seat -
back
WARNING
Seatbelts provide maximum
restraint when the occupant sits
back and upright in the seat. Do not
place cushions or any other materi-
als between occupants and
seatbacks or seat cushions. By
doing so, the risk of sliding under
the lap belt and of the lap belt slid-
ing up over the abdomen will
increase, and both can result in
serious internal injury or death.
102931
WARNING
 When folding down the seatback,
check that there are no passen-
gers or objects on the rear seat.
Not doing so creates a risk of
injury or property damage. Never allow passengers to ride
on the folded rear seatback or in
the trunk. Doing so may result in
serious injury or death. Secure all objects and especially
long items properly to prevent
them from being thrown around
inside the vehicle and causing
serious injury during a sudden
steering maneuver or accelera-
tion. When you return the seatback to
its original position, shake it
slightly to confirm that it is
securely in place. If it is not
securely fixed in place, it may
suddenly fold down in the event
of sudden braking, or objects
may move out from the trunk,
both could cause serious injury
or death.
WARNING
When the seatback is returned to its
original position, observe the fol-
lowing precautions. Failure to do so
may lead to serious injury or an
accident because the proper
seatbelt operation will be affected. The seatbelt should not be
caught in the seatback and it
should be fully visible.
