1. Important Safety Precautions
◆
Be sure to wear the seat belt correctly.
In collision accidents, seat belts are protective devices that perform best.
Air bags are designed to enhance safety provided by seat belts rather than
take the place of seat belts. Thus even if the vehicle is equipped with air bags,
make sure that you and other passengers always correctly wear seat belts.
◆
Never leave children in unattended vehicles.
Never leave children in unattended vehicles. Children may trigger one or
more vehicle control devices, resulting in injury or death. Children may also
cause the vehicle to move and collide due to misoperation, resulting in injury
or death. Depending on the ambient temperature, extreme temperature may
be reached in the vehicle, resulting in injury or death.
◆
Protect all children.
Children 12 years old and under must never ride in the front seat. For
infants and babies, child safety seats shall be used. For older children, both
child safety seats and three-point seat belts shall be used.
◆
Note that air bag may cause danger.
Air bags can save lives. However, deployment of air bags could result in
serious or fatal injury to the passenger too close to them or improperly
restrained.
Air bags present greatest threats to infants, babies and short adults.
Therefore, be sure to observe all instructions and warnings contained in this
Manual.
◆
Never drive after drinking alcohol.
Even drinking a little alcohol can suppress capability of dealing with
changing situations. In addition, it takes longer time for doing so. Never drive
after drinking alcohol.
◆
Observe road traffic safety regulations and be polite while driving.
◆
Pay due attention to driving safety.
Answering the phone or doing other things while driving could cause you
to pay no attention to road conditions, other vehicles and pedestrians. This
could result in accidents. Keep in mind to avoid distraction while driving.
◆
Control the vehicle speed.
Vehicle speed being too fast is one of the main causes for traffic
accidents. The
vehicle speed is faster while the risk is greater
.
Therefore, please choose appropriate vehicle speed to drive safely
according to the actual road conditions.
◆
Periodic maintenance.
Tire burst or mechanical fault can be very dangerous. To reduce
possibility of these problems, check tire pressures and conditions from time to
time, and have the vehicle serviced periodically according to the Warranty
Manual.
