- The flag must be flown from sunrise to sunset. If flown at night, it must be illuminated.
- It must never touch the ground, water, or be in contact with objects that could soil it.
- It must be in good condition. If it is damaged or faded, it must be removed and destroyed in a dignified manner, preferably through a burning ceremony.
- The flag must be flown in its highest position when displayed with other flags (except other national flags in international contexts).

- It may be placed on cars, but it must be securely attached to an antenna or the front of the vehicle and must not cover the car or be placed horizontally.
- At funerals, it is used to drape the coffins of military personnel, veterans, or certain government figures. The stars should be draped over the deceased’s left shoulder.
- The flag should not be used as decoration, clothing, or cushion cover. Printed reproductions are permitted for decorative purposes, but not the official flag.
- The code suggests that it should not be used as clothing, a blanket, a tablecloth, or a promotional item. However, products bearing the flag’s design are available today, although they do not represent the official flag.
- It is flown at half-staff as a sign of national mourning. To do so, it is first flown to its highest point and then lowered to half-staff.
