Driving your vehicle

Before driving

Before entering vehicle
僅 Be sure that all windows, outside mir-
ror(s), and outside lights are clean.
僅 Check the condition of the tyres.
僅 Check under the vehicle for any sign
of leaks.
僅 Be sure there are no obstacles behind
you if you intend to back up.
Necessary inspections
Fluid levels, such as engine oil, engine
coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid
should be checked on a regular basis,
with the exact interval depending on t
he fluid. Refer to "Maintenance services"
on page 8-6 for further details.
WARNING
Driving whilst distracted can result in a
loss of vehicle control, that may lead to
an accident, severe personal injury, or
death. The driver's primary responsibility
is in the safe and legal operation of a
vehicle. Any use of handheld devices,
other equipment, or vehicle systems that
take the driver's eyes, attention, and
focus away from the safe operation of a
vehicle are not permissible by law. These
should never be used during the opera-
tion of the vehicle.
Before starting
僅 Close and lock all doors.
僅 Position the seat so that all controls
are easily reached.
僅 Adjust the inside and outside rearview
mirrors.
僅 Be sure that all lights work.
僅 Check all gauges.

僅 Check the operation of warning lights
when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position.
僅 Release the parking brake and make
sure the brake warning light goes out.
For safe operation, be sure you are
familiar with your vehicle and its equip-
ment.
WARNING
Driving under the influence of alcohol
or drugs
Drinking and driving is dangerous.
Drunk driving is the number one contrib-
utor to the highway death toll each year.
Even a small amount of alcohol will
affect your reflexes, perceptions and
judgement.
You are much more likely to have a seri-
ous accident if you drink and drive.
If you are drinking or taking drugs, don't
drive. Do not ride with a driver who has
been drinking or taking drugs. Choose a
designated driver or call a cab.
Driving whilst under the influence of
drugs is as dangerous or more danger-
ous than driving drunk.
WARNING
When you intend to park or stop the
vehicle with the engine on, be careful
not to depress the accelerator pedal for
a long period of time. It may overheat
the engine or exhaust system and cause
fire.
