Additional Safety Information
The seat belts and airbags are
obviously important parts of your
occupant protection system.
In addition, you should know that
sitting upright, locking the doors,
and stowing things properly can
also increase your safety and
possibly even save your life.
Seat-Back Position
The seat-backs should be in an
upright position for you and your
passengers to get the most
protection from the seat belts.
If you recline a seat-back, you
reduce the protective capability
of your seat belt. The farther a
seat-back is reclined, the greater
the risk that you will slide under
the belt in a severe crash and be
very seriously injured.
For information on how to adjust
the seat-back, see page

.
Door Locks
It is not safe to leave your car
doors unlocked. A passenger,
especially a child, could open a
door and accidentally fall out.
Also, there is a greater chance of
being thrown out of the car
during a crash when the doors
are not locked.
