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 steel 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.
