70F-06-001
Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times.
The driver and passengers should
be property restrained at all times,
using the seatbelts provided. Refer
to the "SEATBELTS" section for
instructions on proper use of the
seatbelts.
Never drive while under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs.
Alcohol and drugs can seriously
impair your ability to drive safely,
greatly increasing the risk of injury
to yourself and others. You should
also avoid driving when you are
tired, sick, irritated, or under stress.
HIGH-SPEED DRIVING
When driving at a high-speed, pay attention to
the following:
• Stopping distance progressively increases
with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes far
enough ahead of the stopping point to
allow for the extra stopping distance.
• On rainy days, "Aquaplaning" can occur.
"Aquaplaning" is the loss of direct contact
between the road surface and the vehicle's
tyres due to a water film forming between
them. Steering or braking the vehicle while
"Aquaplaning" can be very difficult, and
loss of control can occur. Keep speed
down when the road surface is wet.
• At high speeds, the vehicle may be
affected by side winds. Therefore, reduce
speed and be prepared for unexpected
buffeting, which can occur at the exits of
tunnels, when passing by a cut of a hill, or
when being overtaken by large vehicles,
etc.
DRIVING ON HILLS
• When climbing steep hills, the vehicle may
begin to slow down and show a lack of
power. If this happens, you should change
to a lower gear so that the engine will again
be operating in its normal power range.
Change rapidly to prevent the vehicle from
losing momentum.
When driving down a hill, the engine
should be used for braking by shifting to
next lower gear.
Try not to hold the brake pedal down
too long or too often while going down
a steep or long hill. This could cause
the brakes to overheat, resulting in
reduced braking efficiency. Failure to
take this precaution could result in loss
of vehicle control.
CAUTION
When descending a down hill, NEVER
turn the ignition key to the "OFF"
position. Emission control system and
automatic transmission (if equipped)
damage may result.
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY ROADS
Under wet road conditions you should drive
at a lower speed than on dry roads due to
possible slippage of tyres during braking.
When driving on icy, snowcovered, or muddy
roads, reduce your speed and avoid sudden
acceleration, abrupt braking, or sharp steering
movements.

present.
Do not get under your vehicle if it is
supported only with the portable
jack provided in your vehicle.
Be careful not to cause accidental
short circuits between the positive
and negative battery terminals.
Keep used oil, coolant, and other
fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose of used fluids properly;
never pour them on the ground, into
sewers, etc.

WARNING TRIANGLE (TYPE-1)
If the temperature indication does not come
down to within the normal, acceptable range:
1) Turn off the engine and check that the
water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged or slipping. If any abnormality is
found, correct it.
2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If
it is found to be lower than the "LOW" line,
look for leaks at the radiator, water pump,
and radiator and heater hoses. If you
locate any leaks that may have caused the
overheating, do not run the engine until
these problems have been corrected.
3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to "ENGINE
COOLANr in the "INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE" section.)
K is dangerous to remove the radiator
cap when the water temperature is
high, because scalding fluid and steam
may be blown out under pressure. The
cap should only be taken off when the
coolant temperature has lowered.
To help prevent personal Injury, keep
hands, tools and clothing away from the
engine cooling fan and airconditioner
fan (if equipped). These electric fans
can automatically turn on without

BODY WORK CARE
Store your vehicle in a dry, well-ventilated
area.
Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly
ventilated area. If you often wash your vehicle
in the garage or if you frequently drive it in
when wet, your garage may be damp.The high
humidity in the garage may cause or
accelerate corrosion. A wet vehicle may
corrode even in a heated garage if the
ventilation is poor.
Do not apply additional undercoating
or rust preventive coating on or around
exhaust system components such as
the exhaust pipes, etc. A fire could be
started if the undercoating substance
becomes overheated.
Cover your vehicle
If you cannot regularly park your vehicle in a
garage, we recommend you use a vehicle
cover. Years of exposure to midday sun can
cause the colours in paint, plastic parts, and
fabrics to fade. Covering your vehicle with a
high-quaiity, "breathable" vehicle cover can
help protect the finish from the harmful UV
rays in sunlight, and can reduce the amount
of dust and air pollution reaching the surface.
