Instructions About Safety
Your safety and the safety of passengers are very
important. Therefore, operating this vehicle safely is
an important responsibility.
To help you be familiar with relevant safety notes,
we have provided operating steps and other
instructions on signboards of the car and in this
manual. These instructions alert you to warn
potential hazards that could hurt you or passengers.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to list all the
hazards associated with operating or maintaining
your vehicle. You must use your own good judgment.
You will find these important safety instructions in a variety of forms, including:
•Safety Signboards— Attached to the car.
• Safety Information— Words preceded by a safety warning symbol and one of the three signal words:
“Warning”, “Caution” or “Hint”.
Meanings are as follows:
Warning Instruction for important or possible
personal injury.
Caution Instruction for important or possible
vehicle damage.
Hint Instruction for potential risks that will
not cause injury or damage.
This manual includes important safety information - please read it carefully.

Key Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions describe the safety features and correct use of
the vehicle. We think all of them are very important.
♦Be sure to wear the seat belt
In all types of crashes, seat belts are protective devices that perform best. Air
bags are designed to enhance safety provided by seat belts rather than take the
place of seat belts. Thus even if the vehicle is equipped with air bags, make sure
that you and other occupants always correctly wear seat belts.
♦Protect all children
Children 12 years old and under must never ride in the front seat. They shall be
correctly restrained in the second-row seats. For infants and babies, child safety
seats shall be used. For older children, both child safety seats and three-point
seat belts shall be used.
♦Note that air bag may cause danger
Air bags can save lives. However, deployment of air bags could result in serious
or fatal injury to the occupant too close to them or improperly restrained. Air bags
present greatest threats to infants, babies, and short adults. Therefore, be sure
to observe all instructions and warnings contained in this Manual.
♦Never drive after drinking alcohol
Never drive after drinking alcohol. Even drinking a little alcohol can suppress
capability of dealing with changing situations. Besides, it takes longer time for
doing so. Never drive after drinking alcohol. Do not let your friends drive after
drinking alcohol either.
♦Observe road traffic safety regulations and be polite while driving.
♦Pay due attention to driving safety
Making calls or doing other things while driving could cause you to pay no
attention to road conditions, other vehicles and pedestrians. This could result in
accidents. Keep in mind to avoid distraction while driving.
♦Control the speed
Too fast speed is one of the main causes for injury and death in crashes.
Generally, the faster the speed, the greater the risk. Nonetheless, sometimes
accidents with relatively slow speeds can also lead to serious injury or death.
Regardless of the highest speed permitted by the regulation, never drive faster
than the permission by actual road conditions for safety purpose.
♦Keep the vehicle at a safe status
Tire burst or mechanical fault can be very dangerous. To reduce possibility of
these problems, check tire pressures and conditions from time to time, and have
the vehicle serviced periodically according to the Warranty Manual.
