Safety precautions when driving

SEATBELT AND SRS AIRBAG

WARNING

DAll persons in the vehicle should fasten their seatbelts BE-

FORE the vehicle starts to move. Otherwise, the possibility of se-

rious injury becomes greater in the event of a sudden stop or ac-

cident.

DTo obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the

driver and all passengers in the vehicle should always wear seat-

belts when the vehicle is moving. The SRS (Supplemental

Restraint System) airbag does not do away with the need to fas-

ten seatbelts. In combination with the seatbelts, it offers the best

combined protection in case of a serious accident.

Not wearing a seatbelt increases the chance of severe injury or

death in a crash even when the car has the SRS airbag.

DThe SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force.

Occupants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag

BAJA U.S.A..A2310BE–A

–CONTINUED –

deploys could suffer very serious injuries. Because the SRS air-

bag needs enough space for deployment, the driver should al-

ways sit upright and well back in the seat as far from the steering

wheel as practical while still maintaining full vehicle control and

the front passenger should move the seat as far back as possible

and sit upright and well back in the seat.

Carefully read the sections “Seat, seatbelts and SRS airbag”in chapter 1

of this owner’s manual for instructions and precautions concerning the

seatbelt system and SRS airbag system.

CHILD SAFETY

WARNING

DNever hold a child on your lap or in your arms while the ve-

hicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from in-

jury in a collision, because the child will be caught between the

passenger and objects inside the vehicle.

DWhile riding in the vehicle, infants and small children should

always be placed in the REAR seat in an infant or child restraint

system which is appropriate for the child’s age, height and

weight. If a child is too big for a child restraint system, the child

should sit in the REAR seat and be restrained using the seatbelts.

According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating

positions. Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.

DPut children aged 12 and under in the REAR seat properly re-

strained at all times in a child restraint device or in a seatbelt. The

SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force and can

injure or even kill children, especially if they are 12 years of age

and under and are not restrained or improperly restrained. Be-

cause children are lighter and weaker than adults, their risk being

injured from deployment is greater.

DNEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SAFETY SEAT

IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR

DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO

BAJA U.S.A..A2310BE–A

CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.

DAlways use the child safety locks whenever a child rides in the

rear seat. Serious injury could result if a child accidentally

opened the door and fell out. Refer to the “Door locks”section in

chapter 2.

DAlways lock the passenger’s windows using the lock switch

when children are riding in the vehicle. Failure to follow this pro-

cedure could result in injury to a child operating the power win-

dow. Refer to the “Power windows”section in chapter 2.

DNever leave unattended children in the vehicle. They could ac-

cidentally injure themselves or others through inadvertent opera-

tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, temperature in a

closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause se-

vere or possibly fatal injuries to them.

Carefully read the sections “Child restraint systems”, “SRS airbag”, and

“Seatbelts”in chapter 1 of this owner’s manual for instructions and pre-

cautions concerning the child restraint system, seatbelt system and SRS

airbag system.

ENGINE EXHAUST GAS (CARBON MONOXIDE)

WARNING

DNever inhale engine exhaust gas. Engine exhaust gas contains

carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which is danger-

ous, or even lethal, if inhaled.

DAlways properly maintain the engine exhaust system to pre-

vent engine exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.

DNever run the engine in a closed space, such as a garage, ex-

cept for the brief time needed to drive the vehicle in or out of it.

DAvoid remaining in a parked vehicle for a lengthy time while

the engine is running. If that is unavoidable, then use the ventila-

tion fan to force fresh air into the vehicle.

DAlways keep the front ventilator inlet grille free from snow,

leaves or other obstructions to ensure that the ventilation system

always works properly.

BAJA U.S.A..A2310BE–A

–CONTINUED –

DIf at any time you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the

vehicle, have the problem checked and corrected as soon as pos-

sible. If you must drive under these conditions, drive only with all

windows fully open.

DRINKING AND DRIVING

WARNING

Drinking and then driving is very dangerous. Alcohol in the

bloodstream delays your reaction and impairs your perception,

judgment and attentiveness. If you drive after drinking –even if

you drink just a little –it will increase the risk of being involved in

a serious or fatal accident, injuring or killing yourself, your pas-

sengers and others. In addition, if you are injured in the accident,

alcohol may increase the severity of that injury.

Please don’t drink and drive.

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Since

alcohol affects all people differently, you may have consumed too much

alcohol to drive safely even if the level of alcohol in your blood is below

the legal limit. The safest thing you can do is never drink and drive. How-

ever if you have no choice but to drive, stop drinking and sober up com-

pletely before getting behind the wheel.

DRUGS AND DRIVING

WARNING

There are some drugs (over the counter and prescription) that

can delay your reaction time and impair your perception, judg-

ment and attentiveness. If you drive after taking them, it may in-

crease your, your passengers’and other persons’risk of being

involved in a serious or fatal accident.
