Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that
the top of the restraint is closest
to the top
of your ears.
This position reduces the chance of a
neck injury in a crash.
On some models, you can also adjust the
head restraint
by tilting the pad forward or
rearward.

Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go
as fast as
it goes.
For example, if the bike is going 10 mph
(16 km/h), so is the child. When the bike hits
the block, it stops.
But
the child keeps going!

Why Safety Belts Work
(COrV7y
The person keeps going until stopped by
something.
In a real vehicle,
it could be the
windshield
...
0 0.14
or the instrument panel ... or the safety belts!
With safety belts,
you slow down as the
vehicle does.
You get more time to stop.
You stop over more distance, and your
strongest bones take the forces. That’s
why safety belts make such good sense.

Belts

Adults
This section is only for people of adult
size.
Be aware that there are special things to

If a child will be
riding in your Pontiac, see the section
located later
in this part called “Children.’’
Follow those rules for everyone’s
protection.
First, you’ll want to know which restraint
systems your vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
