Driving Precautions
Driving and Operating Driving Precautions
Distracted Driving
Taking your eyes off the road for too long
or too often could cause a collision
resulting in injury or death. Focus your attention on driving.
Use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off of the
road. Your primary responsibility as the driver is the safe
operation of your vehicle. Only use cell phones and other
devices not essential to driving when parked. Driving while
distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, collision, and
serious bodily injury or death.
To avoid distracted driving, keep your eyes on the road, keep
your hands on the steering wheel, and focus your attention on
driving.

Do not use a phone or other hand-held devices while
driving.
 Watch the road. Do not read, text, type, or look up
information on phones or other electronic devices.
 Become familiar with vehicle features before driving, such
as programming favorite radio stations and adjusting
climate control and seat settings. Program all trip
information into any navigation device prior to driving.

Wait until the vehicle is parked to retrieve items that have
fallen to the floor.
Defensive Driving
Drive defensively and always expect the unexpected. The first
step in driving defensively is to wear your seat belt. See “Seat
Belt”, page 3-4 for more information.
 Always focus on the task of driving.

Assume that other drivers will be careless and make
mistakes; anticipate what they might do and be ready to
react.
 Allow enough distance between you and the vehicle in front
of you to help prevent a collision in case of sudden stops or
other hazards.
 Be aware of your surroundings while operating the vehicle.
Because the SOLO is a small vehicle, other drivers may be
less likely to be aware of your presence. Before executing
turns or lane changes, use your mirrors and turn your head
to check any blind spots to help avoid collisions.
