Your car is equipped with many
features that work together to
protect you and your passenger
during a crash.
Some safety features do not require
any action on your part. These
include a strong aluminum
framework that forms a safety cage
around the passenger compartment;
front and rear crush zones that are
designed to crumple and absorb
energy during a crash; a collapsible
steering column; and seat belt
tensioners that automatically tighten
the seat belts in the event of a crash.
These safety features are designed
to reduce the severity of injuries in a
crash. However, you and your
passenger can't take full advantage
of these safety features unless you
remain sitting in a proper position
and
always wear your seat belts
properly. In fact, some safety
features can contribute to injuries if
they are not used properly.
