Driving tips
BEFORE DRIVING
Before entering vehicle:
Before starting
• Close and lock all doors.
• Position the seat so that all controls are
easily reached.
• Adjust the inside and outside rearview
mirrors.
WARNING - Driving under
the influence of alcohol or
drugs
•
Be sure that all windows, outside mir-
ror(s), and outside lights are clean.
•
•
Check the condition of the tires.
Check under the vehicle for any sign of
leaks.
Drinking and driving is dangerous.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgement. Driving
while under the influence of drugs
is as dangerous or more dangerous
than driving drunk.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take
drugs and drive.
If you are drinking or taking drugs,
don’t drive. Do not ride with a driv-
er who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver
or call a cab.
•
Be sure there are no obstacles behind
you if you intend to back up.
• Be sure that all lights work.
• Check all gauges.
•
Check the operation of warning lights
when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position.
Necessary inspections
Fluid levels, such as engine oil, engine
coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid
should be checked on a regular basis,
with the exact interval depending on the
fluid. Further details are provided in
Section 7, Maintenance.
•
Release the parking brake and make
sure the brake warning light goes out.
For safe operation, be sure you are famil-
iar with your vehicle and its equipment.
