2-2
You will read many safety precautions and recommendations throughout
this chapter, and throughout this man-
ual. The safety precautions in this chapter are among the most impor-tant.
Always wear your seat belt
A seatbelt is the best protection in all
types of accidents. An air bag isdesigned to supplement a seatbelt,
not replace it. So even though your
vehicle is equipped with air bag,
ALWAYS make sure you and your
passengers wear seatbelts in a prop-
er manner.
Restrain all children
All children under age 13 should ride
in your vehicle properly restrained in
a rear seat, not the front seat. Infantsand small children should be
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint. Larger children should usea booster seat with the lap/shoulder
belt until they can use the seat belt
properly without a booster seat. ❇
The age requirements about the
child detrainment differ in each
country.
Air bag hazards
While air bags can save lives, they
can also cause serious or fatal
injuries to passengers, who sit tooclose to them, or who are not prop-
erly restrained. Infants, young chil-dren, and small adults are at the
greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating air bag. Follow all instruc-
tions and warnings in this manual.
Driver's distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious
and potentially deadly danger, espe-
cially for inexperienced drivers. Safety
should be the first concern, while driv-
ing. Drivers need to be aware of the
wide array of potential distractions,
such as drowsiness, reaching for
objects, eating, personal grooming,
other passengers, and using cellular
phones.
Drivers can become distracted when
they take their eyes and attention offthe road or their hands off the wheel,
caring for other activities to focus on
activities other than driving. To
reduce your risk of distraction and an
accident, follow the below instruc-tions:
• ALWAYS use your mobile devices (i.e., MP3 players, phones, naviga-
tion units, etc.), only when your vehi-
cle is safely parked or safelystopped.

Safety system of your vehicle
ONLY use your mobile device whenlaws and conditions permit its safe
usage. NEVER text or email while
driving. Most countries have laws
prohibiting drivers from texting.
Some countries and cities also pro-
hibit drivers from using handheld
phones.
NEVER distract yourself by using a mobile device, while driving. You
have a responsibility to safely drive
for your passengers and others on
the road, with your hands on the
wheel as well as your eyes andattention on the road.
Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major cause of
injuries and deaths. Generally, the
higher the speed, the greater the
risk. However, serious injuries may
also occur at lower speeds. Never
drive faster than it is safe to do so inaccordance with a road condition,
regardless of the maximum speedlimit.
Keep your vehicle in safe condi- tions
A flat tire or a mechanical failure may
be extremely hazardous. To reduce the
possibility of such hazards, check your
tire pressures, and perform the mainte-
nance on a regular basis.

Safety precautions
Adjust your seat, so that you can sit in
a safe, comfortable position. It plays
an important role in protecting the
driver and passengers, together withthe seat belts and air bags in an acci-dent.
Air bag
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. Sitting too close to an air bag
greatly increases the risk of injury, as
the event the air bag inflates. Move
your seat as far back as possible
from front air bags, while still main-
taining control of the vehicle.
Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting the vehicle.
At all times, passengers should sit
upright and be properly restrained.
Infants and small children must be
restrained in an appropriate child
restraint system. Children who out-
grow a booster seat and adults must
fasten their seat belts.
Do not use a cushion thatreduces friction between the
seat and the passenger. The
passenger's hips may slide
under the lap portion of the seatbelt during an accident or a
sudden stop. Serious or fatal
internal injuries may resultbecause the seat belt cannot
properly operate.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-cautions:
•Adjust the driver’s seat in the
rearmost position, while main-
taining the ability to fully con-
trol the vehicle.
Hold the steering wheel with
both hands at the 9 o’clock
and 3 o’clock positions to
minimize the risk of injuries to
your hands and arms.
NEVER place anything or any-
one on the air bags.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
to adjust your seat belt:
NEVER use one seat belt to fasten more than one occu-pant.
Always sit in an upright posi-
tion with the lap portion of the
seat belt snug and low acrossthe hips.
NEVER allow children or small infants to ride on a pas-
senger's laps.

proper position so that you can easi-
ly reach the steering wheel, foot ped-
als and controls on the instrument

seat when the vehicle ismotion.
The seat may inadvertently
move and may cause loss of
vehicle control, resulting in anaccident.
Do not place anything under
the front seats. Loose objects
in the driver's foot area may
interfere with the pedal opera-
tion, causing an accident. (Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Do not fasten the seat belt
across your neck or over a
sharp edge. Always tightly
fasten the shoulder strap over
your body.
Be careful that a seat belt does not become caught orjammed.

fere with proper sitting and
proper locking of the seat-
back.
Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat.
When you operate the seat,
gas may leak, causing a fire.
When occupants sit in the
rear seats, be careful not to
injure them, while adjusting
your seat position.

Adjusting the height up and down
To raise the head restraint, pull it up
to the desired height (1). To lower the
head restraint, hold the release but-
ton (2) on the head restraint support
and lower it down to the desiredheight (3).

of an accident, the headrestraint should be adjusted
so the middle of the headrestraint is at the same height
of the center of gravity of an
occupant's head. Generally,
the center of gravity of mostpeople's head is at the height
of the top of their eyes. Also,adjust the Head restraint as
close to your head as possi-
ble. For this reason, the use of
a cushion that holds the body
away from the seat back is notrecommended.
Do not operate the vehicle,
when any head restraint is
removed. Severe injury may
occur in the event of an acci-
dent. Head restraints may pro-
vide protection against neck
injuries, when they are prop-
erly adjusted.
