Your vehicle is equipped with many
features that work together to
protect you and your passenger
during a crash.
Some 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, a collapsible
steering column; and tensioners that
tighten the seat belts in a crash.
However, you and your passenger
can’t take full advantage of these
features unless you remain sitting in
a proper position and
. In fact, some safety
features can contribute to injuries if
they are not used properly.
The following pages explain how you
can take an active role in protecting
yourself and your passenger.
