Safety Checklist
For the safety of you and your passengers, make a habit of checking these items
each time before you drive. Check if the charging cable is connected to the vehicle
and disconnect it if it is. The vehicle will not operate with the cable connected.
• After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure all doors are closed and locked.

•Adjust your seat to a position suitable for driving. Be sure the front seats are
adjusted as far to the rear as possible while allowing the driver to control the
vehicle. Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious or fatal injury in a
crash.
2 Adjusting the Seats P. 166
•Adjust head restraints to the proper position. Head restraints are most effective
when the center of the head restraint alig ns with the center of your head. Taller
persons should adjust their head restraint to the highest position.
