Before Driving
Check the following items before you begin driving.
exterior Checks
•
Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior lights, or
other parts of the vehicle.
•
Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
•
Make sure the hood is securely closed.
•
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left under the hood,
causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period, inspect and remove
any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have fallen or
have been carried in for use as a nest by a small animal. Also check under the hood for
leftover flammable materials after you or someone else has performed maintenance on
your vehicle.
•
Make sure the tires are in good condition.
•
Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
DrIvING
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to melt any ice. Do not
try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim around the doors. When done,
wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
Interior Checks
•
Store or secure all items on board properly.
•
Do not pile items higher than the seat height.
•
Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure the floor mats.
•
If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely in the vehicle.
•
Securely close and lock all doors and the tailgate.
•
Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
•
Make sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll under the seats.
•
Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
•
Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you start the
vehicle, and go off soon after.
