IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

You will find many safety precautions
and recommendations throughout this
section, and throughout this manual. The
safety precautions in this section are
among the most important.

Always wear your seat belt

A seat belt is your best protection in all
types of accidents. Air bags are designed
to supplement seat belts, not replace
them. So even though your vehicle is
equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make
sure you and your passengers wear your
seat belts, and wear them properly.

Restrain all children

All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in a
rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and
small children should be restrained in
an appropriate Child Restraint Systems.
Larger children should use a booster
seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they
can use the seat belt properly without a
booster seat.

Air bag hazards

While air bags can save lives, they can
also cause serious or fatal injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them, or
who are not properly restrained. Infants,
young children, and short adults are at
the greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instructions
and warnings in this manual.

Driver distraction

Driver distraction presents a serious and
potentially deadly danger, especially for
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be
the first concern when behind the wheel
and drivers need to be aware of the wide
array of potential distractions, such as
drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating,
personal grooming, other passengers,
and using cellular phones.
Drivers can become distracted when they
take their eyes and attention off the road
or their hands off the wheel to focus on
activities other than driving. To reduce
your risk of distraction and an accident:
• ALWAYS set up your mobile devices
(for example, MP3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) when your vehi-
cle is parked or safely stopped.
• ONLY use your mobile device when
allowed by laws and conditions permit
safe use.
NEVER text or email while driving. Most
countries have laws prohibiting drivers
from texting. Some countries and cities
also prohibit drivers from using hand-
held 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 safe-
ly, with your hands on the wheel as well
as your eyes and attention on the road.
