ment, the driver should always sit upright and

the lock switch when children are riding in the
vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure could
result in injury to a child operating the power
window. Refer to the Power windows section
in chapter 2.
" Never leave unattended children in the vehicle. They could accidentally injure themselves
or others through inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, temperature in a closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal
injuries to them.
" Help prevent young children from locking
themselves in the trunk. When leaving the vehicle, either close all windows and lock all doors
or cancel the inside trunk lid release. Also make
certain that the trunk is closed. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in a trunk could quickly
become high enough to cause death or serious
heat-related injuries including brain damage,
particularly for small children.
Carefully read the sections Child restraint systems,*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System
airbag), and Seatbelts in chapter 1 of this owners
manual for instructions and precautions concerning
the child restraint system, seatbelt system and SRS
airbag system.
" Never inhale engine exhaust gas. Engine exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which is dangerous, or
even lethal, if inhaled.
" Always properly maintain the engine exhaust
system to prevent engine exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.
" Never run the engine in a closed space, such
as a garage, except for the brief time needed to
drive the vehicle in or out of it.
" Avoid remaining in a parked vehicle for a
lengthy time while the engine is running. If that
is unavoidable, then use the ventilation fan to
force fresh air into the vehicle.
" Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille
free from snow, leaves or other obstructions to
ensure that the ventilation system always
works properly.
" If at any time you suspect that exhaust fumes
are entering the vehicle, have the problem
WWW.MANUALS.WS
WWW.MANUALS.WS
checked and corrected as soon as possible. If
you must drive under these conditions, drive
only with all windows fully open.
" Keep the trunk lid or rear gate closed while
driving to prevent exhaust gas from entering
the vehicle.

drugs, please consult with your doctor.
Never drive if you are under the influence of any illicit
mind-altering drugs. For your own health and well-being, we urge you not to take illegal drugs in the first
place and to seek treatment if you are addicted to
those drugs.
Your vehicle should not be modified. Modification could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental
regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from modification
may not be covered under warranties.

! 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 under
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 harness 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 carriers handle. Never restrain
pets or pet carriers in the front passengers seat. For
further information, consult your veterinarian, local animal protection society or pet shop.
