Q: If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from
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 mand 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.

Door Locks
A CAUTION:
~
I
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.
mere are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle. From the outside,
use your door key
or remote keyless
entry transmitter,
if your vehicle has this option. With
your door key, turning the key toward the rear of the
vehicle will lock the door and turning the key toward the
front of the vehicle will unlock
it.
If your vehicle has a theft-deterrent system and it is
activated, unlock the doors only with the key or
remote keyless entry system.
This will avoid setting
off the alarm.
To lock the door from the
inside, slide the locking
lever rearward. To unlock
the door, slide the locking
lever forward.

will unlock. If someone needs to get out while you’re
not in PARK
(P), have that person use the manual or
power lock. When the door is closed again, it will not
lock automatically. Just use the manual or power lock to
lock the door again.
Overriding Lock Delay
If you need to lock your doors before shifting out of
PARK (P), just use the manual or power lock button to
lock the doors.

doors
of your vehicle using the driver’s or front
passenger’s door lock switch.
The switch on each rear door works only that door’s
lock.
