Safety precautions when driving
! Seatbelt and SRS airbag
" All persons in the vehicle should fasten theirseatbelts BEFORE the vehicle starts to move.Otherwise, the possibility of serious injury be-comes greater in the event of a sudden stop oraccident." To obtain maximum protection in the event ofan accident, the driver and all passengers in thevehicle should always wear seatbelts when thevehicle is moving. The SRS (Supplemental Re-straint System) airbag does not do away withthe need to fasten seatbelts. In combinationwith the seatbelts, it offers the best combinedprotection in case of a serious accident.Not wearing a seatbelt increases the chance ofsevere injury or death in a crash even when thevehicle has the SRS airbag." The SRS airbags deploy with considerablespeed and force. Occupants who are out ofproper position when the SRS airbag deployscould suffer very serious injuries. Because theSRS airbag needs enough space for deploy-

ment, the driver should always sit upright andwell back in the seat as far from the steeringwheel as practical while still maintaining full ve-hicle control and the front passenger shouldmove the seat as far back as possible and situpright and well back in the seat.
Carefully read the sections �Seat, seatbelt and SRSairbags� in chapter 1 of this owner�s manual for in-structions and precautions concerning the seatbeltsystem and SRS airbag system.
! Child safety
" Never hold a child on your lap or in your armswhile the vehicle is moving. The passengercannot protect the child from injury in a colli-sion, because the child will be caught betweenthe passenger and objects inside the vehicle." While riding in the vehicle, infants and smallchildren should always be placed in the REARseat in an infant or child restraint system whichis appropriate for the child�s age, height andweight. If a child is too big for a child restraint
system, the child should sit in the REAR seatand be restrained using the seatbelts. Accord-ing to accident statistics, children are saferwhen 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 REARseat properly restrained at all times in a childrestraint device or in a seatbelt. The SRS airbagdeploys with considerable speed and force andcan injure or even kill children, especially ifthey are 12 years of age and under and are notrestrained or improperly restrained. Becausechildren are lighter and weaker than adults,their risk being injured from deployment isgreater." NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACINGCHILD SAFETY SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT.DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATHTO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD�SHEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG." Always use the child safety locks whenever achild rides in the rear seat. Serious injury couldresult if a child accidentally opened the doorand fell out. Refer to the �Door locks� section inchapter 2." Always lock the passenger�s windows using
WWW.MANUALS.WS
WWW.MANUALS.WS 8
the lock switch when children are riding in thevehicle. Failure to follow this procedure couldresult in injury to a child operating the powerwindow. Refer to the �Power windows� sectionin chapter 2." Never leave unattended children in the vehi-cle. They could accidentally injure themselvesor others through inadvertent operation of thevehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, tempera-ture in a closed vehicle could quickly becomehigh enough to cause severe or possibly fatalinjuries to them." Help prevent young children from lockingthemselves in the trunk. When leaving the vehi-cle, either close all windows and lock all doorsor cancel the inside trunk lid release. Also makecertain that the trunk is closed. On hot or sunnydays, the temperature in a trunk could quicklybecome high enough to cause death or seriousheat-related injuries including brain damage,particularly for small children.
Carefully read the sections �Child restraint sys-tems�,�*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint Systemairbag)�, and �Seatbelts� in chapter 1 of this owner�smanual for instructions and precautions concerningthe 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, oreven lethal, if inhaled." Always properly maintain the engine exhaustsystem to prevent engine exhaust gas from en-tering the vehicle." Never run the engine in a closed space, suchas a garage, except for the brief time needed todrive the vehicle in or out of it." Avoid remaining in a parked vehicle for alengthy time while the engine is running. If thatis unavoidable, then use the ventilation fan toforce fresh air into the vehicle." Always keep the front ventilator inlet grillefree from snow, leaves or other obstructions toensure that the ventilation system alwaysworks properly." If at any time you suspect that exhaust fumesare entering the vehicle, have the problem

checked and corrected as soon as possible. Ifyou must drive under these conditions, driveonly with all windows fully open." Keep the trunk lid or rear gate closed whiledriving to prevent exhaust gas from enteringthe vehicle.
! Drinking and driving
Drinking and then driving is very dangerous.Alcohol in the bloodstream delays your reac-tion and impairs your perception, judgment andattentiveness. If you drive after drinking � evenif you drink just a little � it will increase the riskof being involved in a serious or fatal accident,injuring or killing yourself, your passengersand others. In addition, if you are injured in theaccident, alcohol may increase the severity ofthat injury.Please don�t drink and drive.
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes ofaccidents. Since alcohol affects all people differently,
you may have consumed too much alcohol to drivesafely even if the level of alcohol in your blood is belowthe legal limit. The safest thing you can do is neverdrink and drive. However if you have no choice but todrive, stop drinking and sober up completely beforegetting behind the wheel.
! Drugs and driving
There are some drugs (over the counter andprescription) that can delay your reaction timeand impair your perception, judgment and at-tentiveness. If you drive after taking them, itmay increase your, your passengers� and otherpersons� risk of being involved in a serious orfatal accident.
If you are taking any drugs, check with your doctor orpharmacist or read the literature that accompanies themedication to determine if the drug you are taking canimpair your driving ability. Do not drive after taking anymedications that can make you drowsy or otherwiseaffect your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. Ifyou have a medical condition that requires you to take
WWW.MANUALS.WS
WWW.MANUALS.WS 10
drugs, please consult with your doctor.
Never drive if you are under the influence of any illicitmind-altering drugs. For your own health and well-be-ing, we urge you not to take illegal drugs in the firstplace and to seek treatment if you are addicted tothose drugs.
! Driving when tired or sleepy
When you are tired or sleepy, your reaction willbe delayed and your perception, judgment andattentiveness will be impaired. If you drivewhen tired or sleepy, your, your passengers�and other persons� chances of being involvedin a serious accident may increase.
Please do not continue to drive but instead find a safeplace to rest if you are tired or sleepy. On long trips,you should make periodic rest stops to refresh your-self before continuing on your journey. When possible,you should share the driving with others.
! Car phone/mobile phone and driving
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving; itmay distract your attention from driving andcan lead to an accident. If you use a hand-heldphone, pull off the road and park in the safeplace before using your phone. In some States/Provinces, only hands-free phones may legallybe used while driving.
! Modification of your vehicle
Your vehicle should not be modified. Modifica-tion could affect its performance, safety or du-rability, and may even violate governmentalregulations. In addition, damage or perfor-mance problems resulting from modificationmay not be covered under warranties.

! Driving with petsUnrestrained pets can interfere with your driving anddistract your attention from driving. In a collision orsudden stop, unrestrained pets or cages can bethrown around inside the vehicle and hurt you or yourpassengers. Besides, the pets can be hurt underthese situations. It is also for their own safety that petsshould be properly restrained in your vehicle. Restraina pet with a special traveling harness which can be se-cured to the rear seat with a seatbelt or use a pet car-rier which can be secured to the rear seat by routing aseatbelt through the carrier�s handle. Never restrainpets or pet carriers in the front passenger�s seat. Forfurther information, consult your veterinarian, local an-imal protection society or pet shop.
! Tire pressures
Driving at high speeds with excessively low tirepressures can cause the tires to deform severe-ly and to rapidly become hot. A sharp increasein temperature could cause tread separation,and destruction of the tires. The resulting lossof vehicle control could lead to an accident.
Check and, if necessary, adjust the pressure of eachtire (including the spare) at least once a month and be-fore any long journey.
Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold.Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures tothe values shown on the tire placard.Refer to the �Tires and wheels� section in chapter 11for detailed information.
! California proposition 65 warning
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, andcertain vehicle components contain or emitchemicals known to the State of California tocause cancer and birth defects or other repro-ductive harm. In addition, certain fluids in vehi-cles and certain components of product wearcontain or emit chemicals known to the State ofCalifornia to cause cancer and birth defects orother reproductive harm.
