CAR/MOBILE PHONES AND DRIVING
CAUTION
Do not use a hand-held phone while driving; it may distract your
attention from driving and can lead to an accident. If you use a
hand-held phone, pull off the road and park in the safe place be-
fore using your phone. In some States/Provinces, only hands-free
phones may legally be used while driving.
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE
CAUTION
Your vehicle should not be modified. Modification could affect its
performance, safety or durability, and may even violate govern-
mental regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems
resulting from modification may not be covered under warranties.
DRIVING WITH PETS
Unrestrained pets can interfere with your driving and distract your atten-
tion from driving. In a collision or sudden stop, unrestrained pets or
cages can be thrown around inside the vehicle and hurt you or your pas-
sengers. Besides, the pets can be hurt under these situations. It is also
for their own safety that pets should be properly restrained in your
vehicle. Restrain a pet with a special traveling harness which can be se-
cured to the rear seat with a seatbelt or use a pet carrier which can be
secured to the rear seat by routing a seatbelt through the carrier’s han-
dle. Never restrain pets or pet carriers in the front passenger’s seat. For
further information, consult your veterinarian, local animal protection so-
ciety or pet shop.
