You’ll find many safety

recommendations throughout this

section, and throughout this manual.

Therecommendationsonthispage

are the ones we consider to be the

most important.

Excessive speed is a major factor in

crash injuries and deaths. Generally,

the higher the speed the greater the

risk, but serious accidents can also

occur at lower speeds. Never drive

faster than is safe for current

conditions, regardless of the

maximum speed posted.

While airbags can save lives, they

can cause serious or fatal injuries to

occupants who sit too close to them,

or are not properly restrained.

Infants, young children, and short

adults are at the greatest risk. Be

sure to follow all instructions and

warnings in this manual. (See page

.)

Having a tire blowout or a

mechanical failure can be extremely

hazardous. To reduce the possibility

of such problems, check your tire

pressures and condition frequently,

and perform all regularly scheduled

maintenance. (See page .)

Children are safest when they are

properly restrained in a back seat,

Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even

one drink can reduce your ability to

respond to changing conditions, and

your reaction time gets worse with

every additional drink. So don’t drink

and drive, and don’t let your friends

drink and drive, either.

A seat belt is your best protection in

all types of collisions. Airbags

supplement seat belts, but airbags

are designed to inflate only in a

moderate to severe frontal collision.

So even though your vehicle is

equipped with airbags, make sure

you and your passengers always

wear your seat belts, and wear them

properly. (See page .)15
