Driving Your Vehicle
6-4
Before entering the vehicle
• Make sure all windows, side view
mirror(s), and outside lights are clean
and unobstructed.
• Remove frost, snow, or ice.
• Visually check the tires for uneven wear
and damage.
• Check under the vehicle for any sign of
leaks.
• Make sure there are no obstacles
behind you if you intend to back up.
Before starting
Make sure the hood, the liftgate, and the
doors are securely closed and locked.
Adjust the position of the seat and
steering wheel.
Adjust the inside and side view mirrors.
Verify all the lights work.
Fasten your seat belt. Check that all
passengers have fastened their seat belts.
Check the gauges and indicators in the
instrument panel and the messages on
the cluster display when the Engine
Start/Stop button is in the ON position.
Check that any items you are carrying are
stored properly or fastened down
securely.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, take the following precautions:
ALWAYS wear your seat belt. All
passengers must be properly belted
whenever the vehicle is moving. For more
information, refer to the “Seat Belts”
section in chapter 3.
Always drive defensively. Do not assume
that the other drivers are seeing your
vehicle. They may not act as you expect.
Be prepared to react to avoid a possible
collision. Plan your movements
anticipating the “worst case” scenario.
Stay focused on driving. Driver distraction
may cause a collision.
Leave plenty of space between you and
the vehicle in front of you.
NEVER drink or take drugs while driving.
Drinking or taking drugs while driving is
dangerous and may result in a collision,
causing serious injury or death.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death toll each
year. Even a small amount of alcohol can
affect your reflexes, perceptions and
judgment. Just one drink may reduce
your ability to respond to changing
conditions and emergencies and your
reaction time gets worse with each
additional drink.
Driving while under the influence of drugs
is as dangerous or more dangerous than
driving under the influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you are drinking or
taking drugs, never drive. Do not ride with
a driver who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver or call
a taxi.
