BEFORE DRIVING
74LH0-74E
Air bag symbol (if equipped) meaning
67LH029
You may find this label on the sun visor.
How the System Works
In a frontal collision, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration, and if the con-
troller judges that the deceleration rep-
resents a severe frontal crash, the
controller will trigger the inflators. The infla-
tors inflate the appropriate air bags with
nitrogen or argon gas. The inflated air bags
provide a cushion for your head and upper
body. The air bag inflates and deflates so
quickly that you may not even realize that it
has activated. The air bag will neither hin-
der your view nor make it harder to exit the
vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area against a front air bag. Also,
upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and
some powder and smoke will be released.
These conditions are not harmful and do
not indicate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware,
however, that some air bag components
may be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-
pants should not lean on or sleep against
the door. Please refer to the “Seat Adjust-
ment” section and the “Seat Belts andChild Restraint Systems” in this section for
details on proper seat and seat belt adjust-
ments.

WARNING
NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD
can occur.
WARNING
If the AIR BAG light in the instrument
cluster ever comes on and stays on,
it means that something may be
wrong with the air bag system. If this
ever happens, have the vehicle ser-
viced immediately, because the air
bags may not offer the protection for
which they were designed.

74LHM0411
9) Do not attempt sharp handling duringhigh speed driving. You may lose your
control over your vehicle.10) When overtaking or changing lanes
while driving at a high speed, keep
ample vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Braking
74LHM0412
1) Use the parking brake firmly when park-
ing your vehicle and shift the gear shift
lever into the first gear or reverse gear
position for the sake of safety and con-
firm the gear position by checking the
gear position indicator before turn igni-
tion switch OFF. Remember, even
though the transaxle is in gear, you
must see the gear, you must set the
parking brake firmly.
2) Don’t use hand-braking unless unavoidable. It causes the vehicle to skid and a collision may occur. It is
especially dangerous when the tyres
are worn out as they skid more.
74LHM0413
Use foot brake in three stages
1. Warn the vehicle behind you
2. Gradually apply the brake.
3. Bring the vehicle to a halt.
3) When driving downhill, try not to apply the brake but use the engine brake
effectively. Overuse of the foot-brake
may result in reduction of brake effec-
tiveness.Long distance driving1) Be sure to perform safety checks
before starting a trip.
2) Take rest at regular intervals to prevent accidents which may occur due to feel-
ing sleepy or tired.
