Modification of your vehicle
CAUTION
Your vehicle should not be modified. Modifica-
tion could affect its performance, safety or
durability, and may even violate governmental
regulations. In addition, damage or perfor-
mance problems resulting from modification
may not be covered under warranties.
J
Car phones and driving
CAUTION
A driver’s use of a car phone can be distract-
ing and if special care is not taken, can lead to
an accident. If you use a car phone while driv-
ing, make an extra effort to pay attention to
the road and to traffic at all times. If you can
safely do so, it is best to pull off to the side of
the road before using your car phone.
J
Driving with pets
Unrestrained pets can interfere with your driving and
distract your attention from driving. In a collision or
sudden stop, unrestrained pets or cages can be
thrown around inside the vehicle and hurt you or
your passengers. Besides, the pets can be hurt un-
der these situations. It is also for their own safety
that pets should be properly restrained in your
vehicle. Restrain a pet with a special traveling har-
ness which can be secured to the rear seat with a
seatbelt or use a pet carrier which can be secured
to the rear seat by routing a seatbelt through the
carrier’s handle. Never restrain pets or pet carriers
in the front passenger’s seat. For further information,
consult your veterinarian, local animal protection so-
ciety or pet shop.
J
Tire pressures
Check and, if necessary, adjust the pressure of
each tire (including the spare) at least once a month
and before any long journey.
Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold. Use
a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures to the
values shown on the tire placard.
Refer to the “Tires and wheels” section in chapter 11
for detailed information.
