them: leaving a child or a pet unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle can
become high enough to cause brain
damage or even death.
8)Do not leave the key in your vehicle with
children and keep them in a place where
your children will not find or play with them:
leaving children in a vehicle with the key is
dangerous. This could result in someone
being badly injured or even killed.
9)Always close both the windows and
convertible top, lock the doors and take the
key with you when leaving your vehicle
unattended: leaving your vehicle unlocked
is dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which could
result in death. Also, a vehicle left unlocked
becomes an easy target for thieves and
intruders.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

10)After closing the doors, always verify
that they are securely closed: doors not
securely closed are dangerous, if the
vehicle is driven with a door not securely
closed, the door could open unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.
11)Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door: suddenly
opening a door is dangerous. A passing
vehicle or a pedestrian could be hit and
cause an accident.
12)Always confirm the conditions around
the vehicle before opening/closing the
doors and use caution during strong winds
or when parked on an incline. Not being
aware of the conditions around the vehicle
is dangerous because fingers could get

25)Make sure luggage and cargo is
secured before driving. Not securing cargo
while driving is dangerous as it could move
or be crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury.
26)Always leave your vehicle locked and
keep the car keys safely away from
children. Leaving your car unlocked or the
keys in reach of children is dangerous.
Children who find their way into the boot
through an open boot can become
accidentally locked in the boot. This could
result in death or brain damage from heat
prostration, particularly in the summer.
Always lock the doors and the boot.
27)When operating a seat, be careful not
to put your hands or fingers near the
moving parts of the seat or on the side trim
to prevent injury.
28)When moving the seats, make sure
there is no cargo in the surrounding area. If
the cargo gets caught it could damage the
cargo. When moving the seats forward and
rearward or returning a rear-reclined
seatback to its upright position, make sure
you hold onto the seatback with your hand
while operating. If the seatback is not held,
the seat will move suddenly and could
cause injury.
29)Be careful when using the seat warmer.
The heat from the seat warmer may be too
hot for some people, as indicated below,
and could cause a low temperature burn.
Infants, small babies, elderly people, and
physically challenged people, people with
delicate skin, people who are excessively
fatigued, people who are intoxicated,
people who have taken sleep-inducing
medicine such as sleeping pills or cold
medicine.30)Do not use the seat warmer with
anything having high moisture retention
ability such as a blanket or cushion on the
seat. The seat may be heated excessively
and cause a low-temperature burn.
31)Do not place objects on the seat or on
the backrest that may isolate the heat,
such as a cover or a pillow. It may cause
the seat heating device to overheat. Sitting
on an overheated seat may cause severe
burns due to the increase in temperature of
the seat surface.
32)Do not place heavy objects with sharp
projections on the seat, or insert needles or
pins into it. This could cause the seat to
become excessively heated and result in
injury from a minor burn.
IMPORTANT
7)The fabric upholstery for the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the vehicle.
Nevertheless, some precautions are
required. Avoid prolonged and/or excessive
rubbing involving clothing accessories such
as metal buckles, bosses, Velcro strips and
the like, which, by applying a high pressure
on the fabric in a limited area, could cause
it to break, thereby damaging the
upholstery.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
33)
Non-Adjustable Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with non
adjustable head restraints on the
driver's and passenger's seatbacks.
The non adjustable head restraints
consist of a trimmed foam covering
over the upper structure of the
seatbacks and are intended to help
protect you and the passenger from
neck injury.
Adjust the seatbacks to their upright,
on-road positions so that the head
restraint is positioned as close as
possible to the back of your head.
WARNING
33)Make sure the seatbacks are properly
adjusted to their upright, on-road positions
before the vehicle is driven. Driving with the
seatbacks not adjusted properly is
dangerous. With no support behind your
head, your neck could be seriously injured
in a collision.
