CAUTION

■

General precautions while driving

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 accidents.

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 vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is

also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with 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.
