Seats & Safety Belts
AM110001
This figure lights up when you turn the key to RUN or START when your
safety belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a buzzer or t\
one, too. It’s the
reminder to buckle up. In many states and Canadian provinces, \
the law says
to wear safety belts. Here’s why:
They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a cra\
sh, you don’t
know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild. In them, you won’t get hurt eve\
n if you’re not
buckled up. And some crashes can be
so serious, like being hit by a train,
that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive. But most cr\
ashes are in
between. In many
of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could be badly hurt or killed.
After
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes
buckling up does matter
. . . a lot!

Q: If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I
wear safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an accident - even one
that isn’t your fault-you and your passengers can be hurt. \
Being
a good
driver doesn’t protect you from things beyond your control, \
such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And the greatest
number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than
40 mph
(65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
K244
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a light will come on for about
eight seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts. Unless the driver’\
s
safety belt is buckled, a buzzer or tone will also sound.

If you have a quick-release tailgate it can be removed by:
1. Raising the tailgate slightly and removing both retaining cables.
2. Lift the tailgate at the right side and pull it out at the left side.
Reverse the above procedure to reinstall. Make sure the tailgate is secure.
Then
Vehicle theft is a big business, especially in some cities. Although your
vehicle has a number of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Key in the Ignition: If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside,
it’s an easy target for joy riders or professional thieves-so don’t do it. When
you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a tone reminding
you to remove your key from the ignition and take it with you. Always do
this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and
so will your ignition. If you have
an automatic transmission, taking your key out also locks your \
transmission.
And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night: Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them in a storage
area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots: If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your vehicle\
,
it’s best to lock it up and take your keys. But what
if you have to leave your
ignition key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area or console.
Lock the console.
Lock all doors except the driver’s,
Then take the door key with you.
