Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I A CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is
l in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle
~ up, your safety belts can’t do their job when
you’re reclined like this.
’ The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it
won’t be against your body. Instead, it will be in
front of
you. In a crash you could go into it,
receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can’t do its job either. In
a crash the
belt could
go up over your abdomen. The belt
forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones.
This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle
is in
motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear your safety belt
properly.
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.
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 Inflatable Restraint
(SIR), or air bag system.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine I A CAUTION:
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.
Your vehicle has a light that
comes on
as a reminder to
buckle up. (See “Safety Belt
Reminder Light” in
the
Index.)
In most 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 survive.
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!
