Your safety—and the safety of others—is very important, and operating this vehicle
safely is an important responsibility. While we strive to help you make informed
decisions about safety, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the hazards associated with operating or maintaining your vehicle. Therefore, you must use your own good judgment.
Important Safety Information
This guide explains many of your vehicle’s safety features and how to use them. Please
read this information carefully. Following the instructions below will also help to keep you and your passengers safe.
Important Safety Precautions
•  Always wear your seat belt.
•  Secure all children in the proper restraint system.
•  Be aware of airbag hazards.
•  Don’t drink and drive.
•  Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely.
•  Control your speed.
•  Keep your vehicle in safe condition.
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to divert some attention away from driving.
Safety Messages
When you see the following messages throughout this guide, pay close attention. You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow
instructions. You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t follow
instructions. You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions.
This information is intended to help you avoid damage to your
