Your Car's Safety Features
Pre-Drive Safety Checklist
To make sure you and your
passengers get the maximum
protection from your car's safety
features, check the following each
time before you drive away:
All adults, and children who have
outgrown child safety seats, are
wearing their seat belts and
wearing them properly (see page
14
).
Any infant or small child is
properly restrained in a child seat
in the back seat (see page
19
).
Front seat occupants are sitting
upright and as far back as possible
from the steering wheel and
dashboard (see page
12
).
Seat-backs are upright (see page
13
).
Head restraints are properly
adjusted (see page
14
).
All doors are closed and locked
(see page
12
).
All cargo is properly stored or
secured (see page
166
).
The rest of this section gives more
detailed information about how you
can maximize your safety.
Remember, however, that no safety
system can prevent all injuries or
deaths that can occur in severe
crashes, even when seat belts are
properly worn and the airbags deploy.
