Safety precautions
Please read below safety rules and abide by the rules.
◆Wear seat belt
Seat belt plays a vital role in protecting the driver and passengers in
all collision accident. The driver and passengers shall wear the belt
correctly even the vehicle is equipped with air bags.
◆Protect the children
For 12-year-old children or younger, use child restraint system and
three-point safety belt on rear row seat.
◆Be careful with airbag
The air bag safeguards your life, but also causes serious or deadly
injury to the one who is close to it or the one who is not properly
restrained, extremely baby, kid and short adult. Please follow
warnings and cautions specified in chapter Safety of the manual.
◆Drunk driving is forbidden
A little alcohol reduces your response against emergency and you
require longer time to respond to emergency each time when you
drink. Never drink before driving, so does your friend.
◆Abide by traffic rules and act with comity
◆Ensure safe driving
If you fail to concentrate on driving, it may lead to accident. Always
be concentrated when driving.
◆Control vehicle speed
High speed is one of the main reasons of injury and death caused by
collision. Generally, the higher the speed is, the great risk it will be.
However, low driving speed may also lead to serious injury and death.
Never drive at speed above the limit specified in the traffic rules.
◆Ensure safe conditions for driving
Flat tire or mechanical failure is dangerous. Always check tire
pressure and tire condition and perform regular service in accordance
with the Service Manual.
