Warnings for Driving
Warning
Concentrate on driving safely, obeying
all legally designated speed limits,
road signs and traffic signals.
If you notice any abnormal noise,
abnormal smell or abnormal vibration
from any part of the vehicle,
immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place and perform checks.
If a warning light comes on or a
buzzer sounds while you are driving,
immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place and perform checks.
Warning (Continued)
Slow down sufficiently when
approaching a curve. Applying the
brakes or sharply turning the steering
wheel while turning the curve could
cause the cargo to shift, the tires to
slip and the vehicle to tip onto
its side.
Avoid scraping the tire sidewalls
against curbstones or driving over dips
and protrusions in the road surface.
You could damage the tires, resulting
in a blowout or flat tire.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Pulling Away After Stopping and Parking
Before pulling away, check that there are no
children or obstructions around the vehicle
and confirm that it is safe to pull away.
If you cannot see the area behind your
vehicle well enough to confirm it is safe to
back up, get out of the vehicle and check
behind it.

that it is safe to pull away after a
temporary stop (at traffic lights, for
example).

Nighttime Visibility
If there is an oil film on the windshield, the
lights of oncoming traffic will be reflected in
many directions, making it hard for you to
see ahead. Use glass cleaner to clean the
glass and the wiper blades.
Worn wiper blades cannot wipe the
windshield clean and thus cannot maintain
visibility. When the wiper blades become
worn, replace them with new ones.
