Safety precautions when driving

SEATBELT AND SRS AIRBAG

WARNING

D All 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.

D To 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.

D The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force.

Occupants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag

Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BE– 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

D Never 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.

D While 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.

D Put 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.

D NEVER 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

Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BE– A

CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.

D Always 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.

D Always 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.

D Never 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

D Never inhale engine exhaust gas. Engine exhaust gas contains

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

ous, or even lethal, if inhaled.

D Always properly maintain the engine exhaust system to pre-

vent engine exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.

D Never 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.

D Avoid 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.

D Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille free from snow,

leaves or other obstructions to ensure that the ventilation system

always works properly.

Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BE– A

– – CONTINUED

D If 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.

D Keep the trunk lid or rear gate closed while driving to prevent

exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.

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.

Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BE– A

viii

If you are taking any drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist or read

the literature that accompanies the medication to determine if the drug

you are taking can impair your driving ability. Do not drive after taking

any medications that can make you drowsy or otherwise affect your abil-

ity to safely operate a motor vehicle. If you have a medical condition that

requires you to take 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 ille-

gal drugs in the ﬁrst place and to seek treatment if you are addicted to

those drugs.

DRIVING WHEN TIRED OR SLEEPY

WARNING

When you are tired or sleepy, your reaction will be delayed and

your perception, judgment and attentiveness will be impaired. If

you drive when tired or sleepy, your, your passengers’ and other

persons’ chances of being involved in a serious accident may in-

crease.

Please do not continue to drive but instead ﬁnd a safe place to rest if you

are tired or sleepy. On long trips, you should make periodic rest stops to

refresh yourself before continuing on your journey. When possible, you

should share the driving with others.

CAR PHONES AND DRIVING

CAUTION

A driver’s use of a car phone can be distracting and if special

care is not taken, can lead to an accident. If you use a car phone

while driving, make an extra eﬀort to pay attention to the road

and to traﬃc at all times. If you can safely do so, it is best to pull

oﬀ to the side of the road before using your car phone.

Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BE– A

MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE

CAUTION

Your vehicle should not be modiﬁed. Modiﬁcation could aﬀect its

performance, safety or durability, and may even violate govern-

mental 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 atten-

tion from driving. In a collision or sudden stop, unrestrained pets or

cages can be thrown around inside the vehicle and hurt you or your pas-

sengers. 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 se-

cured 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 carrier’s han-

dle. Never restrain pets or pet carriers in the front passenger’s seat. For

further information, consult your veterinarian, local animal protection so-

ciety or pet shop.

Front seats

WARNING

D Never adjust the seat while driving to avoid the possibility of

loss of vehicle control and of personal injury.

D Never drive the vehicle with the head restraints removed be-

cause they are designed to reduce the risk of serious neck injury

in the event that the vehicle is struck from the rear.

D Before adjusting the seat, make sure the hands and feet of rear

seat passengers are clear of the adjusting mechanism.

D Seatbelts provide maximum restraint when the occupant sits

well back and upright in the seat. To reduce the risk of sliding un-

der the seatbelt in a collision, the front seatbacks should be al-

ways used in the upright position while the vehicle is running. If

the front seatbacks are not used in the upright position in a colli-

sion, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt slid-

ing up over the abdomen will increase, and both can result in se-

rious internal injury or death.

D Do not put cushions or any other materials between occupants

and seatbacks or seat cushions. If you do so, the risk of sliding

under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen

will increase, and both can result in serious internal injury or death.

D The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force.

Occupants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag

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.

D Put children aged 12 and under in the rear seat properly re-

strained at all times. 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 im-

properly restrained. Because children are lighter and weaker than

– – CONTINUED

adults, their risk of being injured from deployment is greater. For

that reason, we strongly recommend that ALL children (including

those in child seats and those that have outgrown child restraint

devices) sit in the REAR seat properly restrained at all times in a

child restraint device or in a seatbelt, whichever is appropriate for

the child’s age, height and weight.

Secure ALL types of child restraint devices (including forward fac-

ing child seat) in the REAR seats at all times.

NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE

FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO

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

SRS AIRBAG.

According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating

positions. For instructions and precautions concerning child re-

straint systems, see the “Child restraint systems” section in this

chapter.

made available.

WARNING

D Never drive your car with the seats converted in a ﬂat bed

position. If you do so, occupants will have a greater chance of

being injured even during simple deceleration, acceleration and

cornering since no firm restraint will be available for them.

D Before you lie on the ﬂat bed to take a rest, read the descrip-

tion “Parking your vehicle” in Chapter 7 carefully and follow the

instructions.

WARNING

D Seatbelts provide maximum restraint when the occupant sits

well back and upright in the seat. Do not put cushions or any other

materials between occupants and seatbacks or seat cushions. If

you do so, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt

sliding up over the abdomen will increase, and both can result in

serious internal injury or death.

D Never allow passengers to ride on the folded rear seatback, in

the cargo area. Doing so may result in serious injury or death.

D Never stack luggage or other cargo higher than the top of the

seatback because it could tumble forward and injure passengers

in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

D Secure skis and other lengthy items properly to prevent them

from being thrown around inside the vehicle and causing serious

injury during a sudden stop, a sudden steering or a rapid accel-

eration.

J Seatbelt safety tips

WARNING

D All 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.

D All belts should ﬁt snugly in order to provide full restraint.

Loose ﬁtting belts are not as eﬀective in preventing or reducing

injury.

D Each seatbelt is designed to support only one person. Never

use a single belt for two or more persons — even children. Other-

wise, in an accident, serious injury or death could result.

D Replace all seatbelt assemblies including retractors and at-

taching hardware worn by occupants of a vehicle that has been in

a serious accident. The entire assembly should be replaced even

if damage is not obvious.
