Safety features of your vehicle
• ONLY use your mobile device
when allowed by laws and when
conditions permit safe use.
NEVER text or email while driving.
Most states have laws prohibiting
drivers from texting. Some states
and cities also prohibit drivers
from using handheld phones.
• NEVER let the use of a mobile
device distract you from driving.
You have a responsibility to your
passengers and others on the
road to always drive safely, with
your hands on the wheel as well
as your eyes and attention on the
road.
Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in
crash injuries and deaths. Generally,
the higher the speed, the greater
the risk, but serious injuries can also
occur at lower speeds. Never drive
faster than is safe for current con -
ditions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
Keep your vehicle in safe condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechani -
cal failure can be extremely hazard -
ous. To reduce the possibility of
such problems, check your tire pres -
sures and condition frequently, and
perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance.
