1. Important Safety Precautions
◆Be sure to wear the seat belt correctly.
In collision accidents, 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 passengers always correctly wear seat belts.
◆Never leave children in unattended vehicles.
Never leave children in unattended vehicles. Children may trigger one or
more vehicle control devices, resulting in injury or death. Children may also
cause the vehicle to move and collide due to misoperation, resulting in injury
or death. Depending on the ambient temperature, extreme temperature may
be reached in the vehicle, resulting in injury or death.
◆Protect all children.
Children 12 years old and under must never ride in the front seat. 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 passenger 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.
Even drinking a little alcohol can suppress capability of dealing with
changing situations. In addition, it takes longer time for doing so. Never drive
after drinking alcohol.
◆Observe road traffic safety regulations and be polite while driving.
◆Pay due attention to driving safety.
Answering the phone 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 vehicle speed.
Vehicle speed being too fast is one of the main causes for traffic
accidents. The vehicle speed is faster while the risk is greater.
Therefore, please choose appropriate vehicle speed to drive safely
according to the actual road conditions.
◆Periodic maintenance.
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.

3.1 Safe Driving
3.1.1 General Instructions
This Section describes important information,
operating essentials, recommendations and safety
precautions for driving safety. For your safety and
the safety of your passengers, please read it
carefully and observe the relevant regulations.
Hint
Please always keep the User's Manual always

simultaneously.
•Never bottom up the foot mat or place it back
to front.
Caution
•Do not let yourself be distracted from driving
because of external factors.
•Do not drive your vehicle when your reaction

3. Safety Operating Instructions
3.1.2 Correct Sitting Position of
Passengers
Correct Sitting Position of the Driver
Correct driving position has a direct influence
on driving safety and fatigue. The driver shall
perform as follows before driving:
–Sit up straight and adjust the seat backrest to
proper position, so that your back can fully
contact with the seat backrest.
–Adjust the driver's seat, so that you can
effectively operate all pedals with legs bent
slightly.
–Adjust the headrest properly. => Refer to
Page 98
–Wear the seat belt correctly. => Refer to Page
17
–Steering wheel position adjustment. => Refer
to Page 37
Warning
During driving, the driver must not adjust the
seat, headrest or steering wheel, otherwise the
vehicle may be out of control and accidents may
occur.
Correct Sitting Position of Passengers
To ensure the safety of passengers and
reduce the risk of accidental injury and death,
passengers should do the following operations:
–Sit upright, and adjust the headrest properly. =>
Refer to Page 98
–The passengers should adjust the seat, leave
suitable distance between his/her chest and
the instrument panel, so as to get the most
safety protection when airbag is triggered.
–The front passenger should adjust the seat
backrest to proper position, so that your back
can fully contact with the seat backrest.
–Wear the seat belt correctly. => Refer to Page
17
–Put the feet on the floor.
–Whenever an infant or child rides in your
vehicle, be sure to use suitable child safety
seat to protect the infant or child in
accordance with the relevant
provisions.=>Refer to Page 28.
Warning
•If the front passenger sits too close to the
instrument panel, he/ she cannot get effective
protection from airbags.
•
While driving, do not allow the front passenger
to put his/her feet on the instrument panel,
outside the window or on the seat. But always
keep his/her feet on the floor
. Otherwise,
he/she may be injured easily during
emergency braking or in a crash.
•
While driving, keep correct sitting position and
wear the seat belt correctly to avoid injury
caused by emergency braking or a crash.

3. Safety Operating Instructions
3.2 Seat Belts
3.2.1 Why Wear Seat Belts
Protection from Seat Belts
In case of crash, correctly wearing seat belts
can restrict the driver and passengers at proper
positions, reducing inertia of forward motion, to
prevent loss of control of motion and being ejected
out of the vehicle, allow the driver and passengers
to get effective protection from the airbags, and
minimize injury due to impact.
The seat belts can assist other safety systems
and absorb most of the kinetic energy resulting
from a collision to reduce the risk of injury further.
Warning
Airbags do not replace your seat belts.
Whether the airbag is equipped or not, it is
essential to make sure you and your passengers
always wear seat belts properly.
Consequences Arising from not Wearing Seat
Belts
In the event of a crash, the unrestrained
passengers will be thrown forward and injured due
to inertia.
OMA10

3. Safety Operating Instructions
Even if the vehicle is at low speed, the force
exerted on human body, when a collision occurs,
is powerful, and the passenger cannot control
his own body by hands. The unrestrained
passengers will be thrown forward and injured
once colliding with other objects in the vehicle.
The rear seat passengers must wear the seat
belts properly as well. Otherwise, the passengers
can be thrown forward during a crash. The rear
seat passengers not wearing the seat belts can be
injured and endanger other passengers.
