BEFORE DRIVING YOUR
VEHICLE
Before preparing to drive your vehicle, here are
a few recommended procedures that will add to
your driving safety and enjoyment.
1. Be sure that you adjust the exterior rear
view mirrors to your driving preference.
2. Adjust the driver's seat for proper distance
from foot pedals and steering wheel to allow
for safety and ease in controlling your
vehicle.
3. Place front seats in the forward facing
position.
4. Be sure to fasten all safety belts to fit you
comfortably, but tight enough to obtain the
full safety of the belts.
5. Make sure all doors are completely shut and
locked. When the doors are shut and
locked, there is less chance of the doors
flying open in event of an accident. It also
prevents unintentional opening of doors and
keeps intruders out of your vehicle.
6. Check to see that all gauges are operating
properly.
7. Check the fuel level in the vehicle.
8. Be certain that the fire extinguisher is fully
charged and secure in its mounting bracket.
