Important Safety Precautions 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. Always Wear Your Seat Belt A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped with airbags, make sure you and your passenger always wear your seat belts, and wear them properly (see page 12 ). Your Vehicle is Not Recommended for Child Passengers Since all children are safest in the back seat of a vehicle, and your vehicle does not have a back seat, we recommend that you do not carry a child passenger. Due to the passenger's airbag hazard, you should never carry an infant in a rear-facing child seat in this vehicle. If an older child must ride in this vehicle, follow all child safety instructions and warnings in this manual (see pages 28 40 ). Be Aware of Airbag Hazards 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. Don't Drink and Drive 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. Control Your Speed Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds. Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum speed posted. Keep Your Vehicle in Safe Condition Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous. To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition frequently, and perform all regularly scheduled maintenance (see page 139 ). 6

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.
A seat belt is your best protection in
all
types
of
collisions.
Airbags
are
designed
to
supplement
seat
belts,
not
replace
them.
So
even
though
your
vehicle
is
equipped
with
airbags,
make
sure
you
and
your
passenger
alwa
ys wear your seat belts, and
wear
them
properly
(see
page
).
Since
all
children
are
safest
in
the
back
seat
of
a
vehicle,
and
your
vehicle does not have a back seat, we
recommend that you do not carry a
child
passenger.
If
an
older
child
must
ride
in
this
vehicle,
follow
all
child
safety
instructions
and
warnings
in
this
manual
(see
pages
).
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.
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.
Excessive
speed
is
a
major
factor
in
crash
injuries
and
deaths.
Generally,
the
higher
the
speed,
the
greater
the
risk,
but
serious
injuries
can
also
occur
at
lower
speeds.
Never
drive
faster
than
is
safe
for
current
conditions,
regardless
of
the
maximum
speed
posted.
Having
a
tire
blowout
or
a
mechanical
failure
can
be
extremely
hazardous.
To
reduce
the
possibility
of such problems, check your tire
pressures and condition frequently,
and perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance
(see
page
).
