sential for driving safety.
Therefore, always be sure to observe the
following points before you drive off:
•
Check lights and turn signals.
•
Check fuel level.
•
Adjust the mirrors.
•
Make sure that all lights and all
windows are clean.
•
Make sure the air Intake slot be­
tween the engine hood and the
windshield is free of leaves, snow
and ice.
•
Check warning and indicator
lights when starting the engine.
For driving safety, always follow the speci­
fied maintenance intervals in your

Therefore, for your own safety:
•
Wear your safety belts and wear
them properly, even if you're just
driving in the city or to the corner
store - see page
14.
•
Make sure that all passengers are
wearing their safety belts properly,
even those sitting in the rear -

Passengers not wearing safety belts endan­
ger not only themselves in case of an acci­
dent, but also the driver and other passen­
gers.
•
Make sure that children always sit
on the rear seat properly restrained
by a restraint system appropriate
for their size and age.
•
Never transport a child in a rear­
facing child or infant seat on the
front passenger seat.
•
Adjust your seat so that you can
easily reach all controls as far away
