WARNING

■

General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive 

your vehicle when under the influence of 

alcohol or drugs that have impaired your 

ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol 

and certain drugs delay reaction time, 

impair judgment and reduce coordina-

tion, which could lead to an accident that 

could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defen-

sively. Anticipate mistakes that other 

drivers or pedestrians might make and 

be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full 

attention to driving. Anything that dis-

tracts the driver, such as adjusting con-

trols, talking on a cellular phone or 

reading can result in a collision with 

resulting death or serious injury to you, 

your occupants or others.

General precaution regarding chil-

dren’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the 

vehicle, and never allow children to have 

or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle 

or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is 

also a danger that children may injure 

themselves by playing with the windows, 

the moon roof (if equipped) or other fea-

tures of the vehicle. In addition, heat 

build-up or extremely cold temperatures 

inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
