WARNING! (Continued)
•
Being too close to the steering wheel or
instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious
injury, including death. Air Bags need room
to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending
your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
•
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) need
room to inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the center of
the seat.
•
In a collision, you and your passengers
can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up. You can strike the
interior of your vehicle or other passen-
gers, or you can be thrown out of the
vehicle. Always be sure you and others in
your vehicle are buckled up properly.
Buckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and cause a collision
that includes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives,
and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries
in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat
belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the
risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
All seating positions in your vehicle are
equipped with lap/shoulder belts. The belt web-
bing retractor is designed to lock during very
sudden stops or collisions. This feature allows
the shoulder part of the belt to move freely with
you under normal conditions. However, in a
collision the belt will lock and reduce the risk of
you striking the inside of the vehicle or being
thrown out.
WARNING!
•
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
•
Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts.
•
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
•
Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is danger-
ous. Seat belts are designed to go around
the large bones of your body. These are
the strongest parts of your body and can
take the forces of a collision the best.
•
Wearing your belt in the wrong place could
make your injuries in a collision much
worse. You might suffer internal injuries, or
you could even slide out of part of the belt.
Follow these instructions to wear your seat
belt safely and to keep your passengers
safe, too.
