Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver [...]

W ARNING! • Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly . • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. 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. • W earing your belt in the wrong place coul[...]

W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well. In a sudden stop, you could move too far forward, increasing[...]

W ARNING! • A belt that is worn under your arm is very dangerous. Y our body could strike the inside sur- faces of the vehicle in a collision, increasing head and neck injury . A belt worn under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones. W ear the belt over your shoulder so that your strongest bones will take [...]

W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well. In a collision, it could even cut into you. Be sure the[...]

NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deploy- ment. The system includes sensors adjacent to both front and rear seat occupants that ar e calibrated to deploy during an impact severe enough to r equire airbag occupant protection. W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag cover[...]

Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with seat belts and pretensioners, fr ont airbags work with the knee bolsters to provide impr oved protection for the driver and front passenger . Side airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant pr otection. The seat belts are designed to pr otect you in many types of collisions. T[...]

2. All occupants should wear their lap and shoulder belts properly . 3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate. 4.
