WARNING

■ General driving precautions Driving under special conditions: Never drive the vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which could impair your ability to drive the vehicle properly.

Alcohol and certain types of drugs reduce reaction times, impair judgment and reduce coordination, leading to accidents resulting in serious or fatal injuries.

Driving safely: Always drive safely. Anticipate possible mistakes by other drivers or pedestrians and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving.

Anything that could distract the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a mobile phone or reading, may cause a collision resulting in serious or fatal injuries to occupants or other persons.

■ General child safety precautions Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and do not allow them to have or use the ignition key.

Children may be able to start the engine or shift the transmission out of park/neutral. There is also a risk of children injuring themselves while playing with the windows, the soft top or other vehicle functions. In addition, heat build-up or extremely low temperatures inside the vehicle could be fatal to children.
