Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that
you and your passengers have fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats
:ARN,NGz Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suita-
ble for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping out of position, securely retain them using the hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal
or laying one floor mat on top of another can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a
serious accident.Carrying children in the vehi-
cle
z Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key and children inside the ve-hicle. Children may play with the driv-
ing controls and this could lead to an ac- cident.
z Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accord-
ance with the laws and regulations, and
for maximum protection in case of an accident.
z Prevent children from playing in the lug-
gage compartment. It is quite dangerous
to allow them to play there while the ve- hicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to load above the height of seats. This is dangerous
not only because rearward vision will be ob- structed, but also the luggage may be projec-ted into the passenger compartment underhard braking.
Parking brake
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com- plete stop, fully apply the parking brake suffi-
ciently to hold the vehicle.

nated.Electric parking brake
The Electric parking brake is the system that
applies the parking brake by the electric mo- tor.
NOTEz You may hear an operation noise from the
vehicle body when operating the Electric
parking brake. This does not indicate a mal-
function and the Electric parking brake is operating normally.
z When the auxiliary battery is weak or dead,
the Electric parking brake cannot be applied
or released. Refer to “Emergency starting” on page 9-02.
z You may feel the brake pedal moving when
operating the Electric parking brake.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
