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.
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things
to know about safety
belts and children. And there are different rules for smaller
children and babies. If a child will
be riding in your
vehicle, see the
part of this manual 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.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear
it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.

5. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of
the retractor to set the lock.
6. To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into the
retractor while you push down on the chld restraint.
7. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure
it is secure.
To remove the child restraint. just unbuckle the vehicle's
safety belt and let
it go back all the way. The safety belt
wilI move freely again and be ready to work for an adult
or larger child passenger.

A CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and
fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won't open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down
or stop your vehicle.
This may not be so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle
in a
crash if the doors aren't locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
I
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
You can use the Keyless Entry System,
if you have
this option. You
can use your key to unlock your door from
the outside.
To lock your door from the inside, slide the lever on
your inside door rearward.
To unlock the door, slide the
lever on your inside door
forward. You
will see a red
area
on the lever.
