WARNING
■General precautions while driv- ing
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influence of alcohol or drugs that have
impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment
and reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers or pedestrians might
make and be ready to avoid acci- dents.
Driver distraction: Always give your
full attention to driving. Anything that distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or others.
■General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehi- cle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children
may injure themselves by playing with the windows, the canvas top, or other features of the vehicle. In addition,
heat build-up or extremely cold tem- peratures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

Recovering procedureWARNING
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle
back and forth to free it, make sure the surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or peo-
ple. The vehicle may also lunge for- ward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free. Use extreme caution.
■When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever
with the accelerator pedal depressed. This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damaging the transmis-sion and other components
●Avoid spinning the front wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more than necessary.
●If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are per-
formed, the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
