CAUTION
■General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi-
cle. 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 accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis-
tracts 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 vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the cigarette lighter, the windows, the 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.

the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smart key system and wireless remote control from
operating properly. (Way of coping P. 545)
● When the electronic key battery is depleted
● Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electri-
cal noise

Vo l u m e
● Adjust the volume when you use the headphones. Loud sounds may have
a significant impact on the human body.
● Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound effects. If you adjust the volume assuming
that the conversations represent the maximum volume level that the DVD
will play, you may be startled by louder sound effects or when you change
to a different audio source. Be sure to adjust the volume with this in mind.
CAUTION
■When the rear seat entert ainment system is not used
Keep the display closed.
In the event of an accident or sudden braking, an occupant may hit the
opened display, resulting in injury.
■ To prevent accidents and electric shock
Do not disassemble or modify the remote controller.
■ When the remote controller is not used
Stow the remote controller.
Injuries may result in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
■ Removed battery and other parts
Keep away from children.
These parts are small and if swallowed by a child they can cause choking.
■ DVD video precaution
Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound effects. If you adjust the volume assuming
that the conversations represent the maximum volume level that the DVD
will play, you may be startled by louder sound effects or when you change to
a different audio source.
Loud sounds may have a significant impact on the human body or pose a
driving hazard. Keep this in mind when you adjust the volume.
