Restraints
Slide
the
head restraint up or down
so
that the top
of
the
restraint is closest to
the
top

your ears. This position
reduces the chance
of
a neck injury in a crash.
Safety Belts: They’re
for
Everyone
This part
of
the manual tells you how to use safety belts
properly. It also tells
you
some things you should
not
do
with safety belts.
And
it
explains the air bag system.
U
I
Don’t let anyone ride where he or she can’t wear
a safety belt properly.
If
you are in a crash and
you’re not wearing
a
safety belt, your injuries
can be much worse. You can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously
injured or killed. In the same crash, you might
not be
if
you are buckled up. Always fasten your
safety belt, and check that your passengers’ belts
are fastened properly too.

CAUTION:
It
is extremely 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 safety belts. Be sure
everyone in your vehicle is in
a
seat and using a
safety belt properly.
Your vehicle has a light
that comes on as
a
reminder
to buckle
up.

Belt Reminder
Light”
