Getting started

Driving

Fastening the seat belts

Warning! G

Do not lay any objects in the driver’s foot-

well. Be careful that floor mats or carpets in

the driver’s footwell have sufficient clear-

ance for the pedals.

During sudden driving or braking maneu-

vers, the objects could get caught between

the pedals. You could then no longer brake

or accelerate.

Warning! G

Always fasten your seat belt before driving

off. Always make sure your passengers are

properly restrained, even those sitting in the

rear and pregnant women.

Failure to wear and properly fasten and po-

sition your seat belt greatly increases your

risk of injuries and their likely severity in an

accident. You and your passengers should

always wear seat belts.

If you are ever in an accident, your injuries

can be considerably more severe without

your seat belt properly buckled. Without

your seat belt buckled, you are much more

likely to hit the interior of the vehicle or be

ejected from it. You can be seriously injured

or killed.

In the same crash, the possibility of injury or

death is lessened if you are wearing your

seat belt. The air bags can only provide the

protection they were designed to afford if

the occupants are using their seat belts

(

컄 page 66).

Warning! G

According to accident statistics, children

are safer when properly restrained in the

rear seating positions than in the front seat-

ing position. Thus, we strongly recommend

that children be placed in the rear seats.

Regardless of seating position, children

12 years old and under must be seated and

properly secured in an appropriate infant, or

toddler restraint, or booster seat recom-

mended for the size and weight of the child.

For additional information, see “Children in

the vehicle” (

컄 page 78).

A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is

significantly increased if the child restraints

are not properly secured in the vehicle

and/or the child is not properly secured in

the child restraint.
