You’ll find many safety
recommendations throughout this
section, and throughout this manual.
The recommendations on this page
are the ones we consider to be the
most important.
Excessive speed is a major factor in
crash injuries and deaths. Generally,
the higher the speed the greater the
risk, but serious accidents can also
occur at lower speeds. Never drive
faster than is safe for current
conditions, regardless of the
maximum speed posted.
A seat belt is your best protection in
all types of collisions. Airbags
supplement seat belts, but front
airbags are designed to inflate only
in a moderate to severe frontal
collision. Side airbags are designed
to inflate only in a moderate to
severe side impact. So even though
your car is equipped with airbags,
make sure you and your passengers
always wear your seat belts, and
wear them properly (see page
).
Children are safest when they are
properly restrained in the back seat,
not the front seat. A child who is too
small for a seat belt must be properly
restrained in a child restraint system
(see page
).
While airbags can save lives, they
can cause serious or fatal injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them,
or are not properly restrained.
Infants, young children, and short
adults are at the greatest risk. Be
sure to follow all instructions and
warnings in this manual (see page
).
Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even
one drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions, and
your reaction time gets worse with
every additional drink. So don’t drink
and drive, and don’t let your friends
drink and drive, either.
Having a tyre blowout or a
mechanical failure can be extremely
hazardous. To reduce the possibility
of such problems, check your tyre
pressures and condition frequently,
and perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance (see page
. For EU
countries, Australia and New
Zealand see the separate service
information booklet).
