WARNING
■General precautions while driv-
ing
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicl e when under the
influence of alcohol or drugs that have
impaired your abili ty 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. Antici pate 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 vehi cle into neutral. There is also a danger that children
may injure themselves by playing with
the side windows, the panoramic moon roof, or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
