WARNING
QGeneral precautions while driv- ing
Driving under the influence: Never
drive your vehicle when under the influence of alcohol or drugs that have
impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment
and reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers or pedestrians might
make and be ready to avoid acci- dents.
Driver distraction: Always give your
full attention to driving. Anything that distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or others.
QGeneral precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehi- cle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children
may injure themselves by playing with the side windows, the panoramic moon roof, or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
