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
chime, 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 lmow if you’ll be in a crash.
If you do have a crash, you don’t how
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild. In them,
you won’t get hurt even 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
crashes are in
between. In many
of them, people who
buclde 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!

Run: An “on” position to which the
switch returns after you start your
engine and release the switch. The

Starting Your Engine
1. Move your shift lever to P (Park) or
N (Neutral). Your engine won’t start
in any other position-that’s a safety
feature.
To restart when you’re
already moving, use
N (Neutral)
only.
2. Don’t push the accelerator pedal
before starting your engine. In some
other vehicles you might need to do
this, but because of your vehicle’s
computer systems, you don’t.
