Driver and Passenger Safety

Important Safety Precautions
You'll find many safety recommendations
throughout this section and this manual. The
following recommendations are the ones we
consider to be the most important.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
A seat belt is the best protection in all types
of collisions. Airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, but they are designed
to inflate when the vehicle engages in a
severe frontal impact. So even though your
vehicle is equipped with airbags, make sure
you and other passengers always wear seat
belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain All Children
Children should be properly restrained in a
back seat, not in front seat for the best safety.
Infants and small children should be
restrained in a child protection device when
they can not wear seat belt.
Be Aware of Airbag Hazards
While airbags can save lives, they can 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. Be sure
to follow all instructions and warnings in
this manual. (Refer to 7th page)
Don't Drink and Drive
Alcohol and driving don't mix. Even a little
drink can reduce your ability to respond to
changing conditions, and your reaction gets
worse with every additional drink. So don't
drink and drive, and don't let your friends
drink and drive, either.
Control Your Speed
Excessive speed is a major cause of 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
conditions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.

Tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be
extremely hazardous. To
possibility of such problems, check your tire
pressures and condition frequently, and
perform all regularly
maintenance. (Refer to 112th page)
