Safety precautions when driving
SEAT BELT AND SRS AIRBAG
WARNING
D All persons in the vehicle should fasten their seat belts BEFORE the vehicle starts to move. Otherwise, the possibility of serious injury becomes greater in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
D To obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the
driver and all passengers in the vehicle should always wear seat
belts when the vehicle is moving. The SRS (Supplemental
Restraint System) AIRBAG does not do away with the need to
fasten seat belts. In combination with the seat belts, it offers the
best combined protection in case of a serious accident.
Not wearing a seat belt increases the chance of severe injury or
death in a crash even when the car has the SRS AIRBAG.
D 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
iv
AIRBAG needs much space for deployment, the driver should always sit upright and well back in the seat as far from the steering
wheel as practical while still maintaining full vehicle control and
the front passenger should move the seat as far back as possible
and sit upright and well back in the seat.
Be sure to carefully read the sections 3-point Type Seat Belts, 2-point
Type Seat Belts and SRS AIRBAG in chapter 2 of this owner’s manual for
instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system and SRS
AIRBAG system.
CHILD SAFETY
WARNING
D 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.
D While riding in the vehicle, infants and small children should
always be placed in an infant or child restraint system in the
REAR seat 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 seat
belts. 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.
D Be sure to put children aged 12 and under in the REAR seat
properly restrained at all times in a child restraint device or in a
seat belt. 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.
D NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
– CONTINUED –
v
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO
THE SRS AIRBAG.
D 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 Door Lock section in
chapter 1.
D 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 Power Window section in chapter 1.
D Never leave unattended children 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.
Be sure to carefully read the sections Child Restraint System, SRS AIRBAG, 3-point Type Seat Belts and 2-point Type Seat Belts in chapter 2 of
this owner’s manual for instructions and precautions concerning the child
restraint system, seat belt system and SRS AIRBAG system.
ENGINE EXHAUST GAS (CARBON MONOXIDE)
WARNING
D Never inhale engine exhaust gas. Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which is dangerous, or even lethal, if inhaled.
D Always properly maintain the engine exhaust system to prevent engine exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.
D 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.
D 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.
D Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille free from snow,
leaves or other obstructions to ensure that the ventilation system
always works properly.
vi
D 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.
D Keep the trunk lid or rear gate closed while driving to prevent
exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.
DRINKING AND DRIVING
WARNING
Drinking and then driving is very dangerous. Alcohol in the
bloodstream delays your reaction 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
WARNING
There are some drugs (over the counter and prescription) that
can delay your reaction time and impair your perception, judgment and attentiveness. 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.
– CONTINUED –
vii
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 you have a medical condition that
requires you to take drugs, please consult with your doctor.
Never drive if you are under the influence of any illicit mind-altering
drugs. For your own health and well-being, we urge you not to take illegal drugs in the first place and to seek treatment if you are addicted to
those drugs.
DRIVING WHEN TIRED OR SLEEPY
WARNING
When you are tired or sleepy, your reaction will be delayed and
your perception, judgment and attentiveness will be impaired. If
you drive when tired or sleepy, your, your passengers’ and other
persons’ chances of being involved in a serious accident may increase.
Please do not continue to drive but instead find a safe place to rest if you
are tired or sleepy. On long trips, you should make periodic rest stops to
refresh yourself before continuing on your journey. When possible, you
should share the driving with others.
CAR PHONES AND DRIVING
CAUTION
A driver’s use of a car phone can be distracting and if special
care is not taken, can lead to an accident. If you use a car phone
while driving, make an extra effort to pay attention to the road
and to traffic at all times.
viii
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE
CAUTION
Your vehicle should not be modified. Modification could affect its
performance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems
resulting from modification may not be covered under warranties.
DRIVING WITH PETS
Unrestrained pets can interfere with your driving and distract your attention from driving. In a collision or sudden stop, unrestrained pets or
cages can be thrown around inside the vehicle and hurt you or your passengers. Besides, the pets can be hurt under these situations. It is also
for their own safety that pets should be properly restrained in your
vehicle. Restrain a pet with a special traveling harness which can be secured to the rear seat with a seat belt or use a pet carrier which can be
secured to the rear seat by routing a seat belt through the carrier’s handle. Never restrain pets or pet carriers in the front passenger’s seat. For
further information, consult your veterinarian, local animal protection society or pet shop.
