Safety precautions when driving

!Seatbelt and SRS airbag

"All persons in the vehicle should fasten their

seatbelts BEFORE the vehicle starts to move.

Otherwise, the possibility of serious injury be-

comes greater in the event of a sudden stop or

accident.

"To obtain maximum protection in the event of

an accident, the driver and all passengers in the

vehicle should always wear seatbelts when the

vehicle is moving. The SRS (Supplemental Re-

straint System) airbag does not do away with

the need to fasten seatbelts. In combination

with the seatbelts, it offers the best combined

protection in case of a serious accident.

Not wearing a seatbelt increases the chance of

severe injury or death in a crash even when the

car has the SRS airbag.

"The SRS airbags deploy with considerable

speed and force. Occupants who are out of

proper position when the SRS airbag deploys

could suffer very serious injuries. Because the

SRS airbag needs enough space for deploy-

ment, the driver should always sit upright and

well back in the seat as far from the steering

wheel as practical while still maintaining full ve-

hicle control and the front passenger should

move the seat as far back as possible and sit

upright and well back in the seat.

Carefully read the sections “Seatbelts” and “*SRS air-

bag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)” in chap-

ter 1 of this owner’s manual for instructions and pre-

cautions concerning the seatbelt system and SRS air-

bag system.

!Child safety

"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 colli-

sion, because the child will be caught between

the passenger and objects inside the vehicle.

"While riding in the vehicle, infants and small

children should always be placed 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. Accord-

ing to accident statistics, children are safer

when properly restrained in the rear seating po-

sitions than in the front seating positions. Nev-

er allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.

"Put children aged 12 and under in the REAR

seat properly restrained at all times in a child

restraint device or in a seatbelt. The SRS airbag

deploys with considerable speed and force and

can injure or even kill children, especially if

they are 12 years of age and under and are not

restrained or improperly restrained. Because

children are lighter and weaker than adults,

their risk being injured from deployment is

greater.

"NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO

RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE

CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO

CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.

"Always use the child safety locks whenever a

child rides in the rear seat. Serious injury could

result if a child accidentally opened the door

and fell out. Refer to the “Child safety locks”

section in chapter 2.

"Always lock the passenger’s 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 the “Windows” section in

chapter 2.

"Never leave unattended children in the vehi-

cle. They could accidentally injure themselves

or others through inadvertent operation of the

vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, tempera-

ture in a closed vehicle could quickly become

high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal

injuries to them.

"Help prevent young children from locking

themselves in the trunk. When leaving the vehi-

cle, either close all windows and lock all doors

or cancel the inside trunk lid release. Also make

certain that the trunk is closed. On hot or sunny

days, the temperature in a trunk could quickly

become high enough to cause death or serious

heat-related injuries including brain damage,

particularly for small children.

Carefully read the sections “Child restraint systems”,

“*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System air-

bag)”, and “Seatbelts” in chapter 1 of this owner’s

manual for instructions and precautions concerning

the child restraint system, seatbelt system and SRS

airbag system.

!Engine exhaust gas (carbon monox-

ide)

"Never inhale engine exhaust gas. Engine ex-

haust gas contains carbon monoxide, a color-

less and odorless gas which is dangerous, or

even lethal, if inhaled.

"Always properly maintain the engine exhaust

system to prevent engine exhaust gas from en-

tering 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

lengthy time while the engine is running. If that

is unavoidable, then use the ventilation 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

–CONTINUED –

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 or rear gate closed while

driving to prevent exhaust gas from entering

the vehicle.

!Drinking and driving

Drinking and then driving is very dangerous.

Alcohol in the bloodstream delays your reac-

tion and impairs your perception, judgment and

attentiveness. If you drive after drinking – even

if you drink just a little – it will increase the risk

of being involved in a serious or fatal accident,

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.

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of

accidents. Since alcohol affects all people differently,

you may have consumed too much alcohol to drive

safely even if the level of alcohol in your blood is below

the legal limit. The safest thing you can do is never

drink and drive. However if you have no choice but to

drive, stop drinking and sober up completely before

getting behind the wheel.

!Drugs and driving

There are some drugs (over the counter and

prescription) that can delay your reaction time

and impair your perception, judgment and at-

tentiveness. If you drive after taking them, it

may increase your, your passengers’ and other

persons’ risk of being involved in a serious or

fatal accident.

If you are taking any drugs, check with your doctor or

pharmacist or read the literature that accompanies the

medication to determine if the drug you are taking can

impair your driving ability. Do not drive after taking any

medications that can make you drowsy or otherwise

affect your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. If
