GAC GA4 - 1 Important Safety Precautions

1. Important Safety Precautions
1
The following safety precautions describe the safety features and correct
use of the vehicle. We think all of them are very important.
◆ Be sure to wear the seat belt
In all types of crashes, seat belts are protective devices that perform best.
Air bags are designed to enhance safety provided by seat belts rather than take
the place of seat belts. Thus even if the car is equipped with air bags, make
sure that you and other occupants always correctly wear seat belts.
◆ Protect all children
Children 12 years old and under must never ride in the front seat. They
shall be correctly restrained in the second-row seats. For infants and babies,
child safety seats shall be used. For older children, both child safety seats and
three-point seat belts shall be used.
◆ Note that air bag may cause danger
Air bags can save lives. However, deployment of air bags could result in
serious or fatal injury to the occupant too close to them or improperly restrained.
Air bags present greatest threats to infants, babies, and short adults. Therefore,
be sure to observe all instructions and warnings contained in this Manual.
◆ Never drive after drinking alcohol
Never drive after drinking alcohol. Even drinking a little alcohol can
suppress capability of dealing with changing situations, besides, it takes longer
time for doing so. Never drive after drinking alcohol. Do not let your friends drive
after drinking alcohol either.
◆
Observe road traffic safety regulations and be polite while driving.
◆ Pay due attention to driving safety
Making calls or doing other things while driving could cause you to pay no
attention to road conditions, other vehicles and pedestrians. This could result in
accidents. Keep in mind that avoid distraction while driving.
◆ Control the vehicle speed
Vehicle speed being too fast is one of the main causes for injury and death
in crashes. Generally, the faster the vehicle speed, the greater the risk.
Nonetheless, sometimes accidents with relatively slow vehicle speeds can also
lead to serious injury or death. Regardless of the highest speed permitted by
the regulation, never drive faster than the permission by actual road conditions
for safety purpose.
◆ Keep the vehicle at a safe status
Tire burst or mechanical fault can be very dangerous. To reduce possibility
of these problems, check tire pressures and conditions from time to time, and
have the vehicle serviced periodically according to the Warranty Manual.
