Head Restraints
Head restraints are fixed on some models and adjustable
on others. Slide
an adjustable 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, the head restraints tilt forward and
rearward also.

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 Supplemental Restraint System, or
“air bag” system.
Your car has a light
that comes on
as a
reminder to buckle
up.
(See “Safety Belt
Warning Light” in the
Index.)
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
crash, you don’t know if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so
serious that even buckled up a person wouldn’t.kvive.
But most crashes are in between. In many of
them,
people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk
away. Without belts they could have been badly
hurt or
killed.
After more than 25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the
facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up
does matter
... a lot!

wheels.
