DRIVING
Learn about preparation for driving, as well as other features.
Before Driving
Check the following items before you begin driving.
Exterior Checks
•
Make sur
e there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
•
Remov
e any frost, snow, or ice.
•
Make sure
the hood is securely closed.
•
Heat from
the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left under
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period,
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass
and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a small
animal. Also check under the hood for leftover flammable materials after you
or someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
•
Make sure
the tires are in good condition.
•
Make sure
there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
DRIVING
Interior Checks•
Store or secur
e all items on board properly.
•
Do not pile items higher than the seat height
.
•
Do not place anything in the
front seat footwells. Make sure to secure the floor
mats.
•
If you hav
e any animals on board, do not let them move freely in the vehicle.
•
Securely close and lock all
doors and the tailgate.
•
Adjust y
our seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
•
Make sure items placed
on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll under
the seats.
•
Everyone in
the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
•
Make sure
that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you start
the vehicle, and go off soon after.
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to melt any
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim around the
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
