Your vehicle has seat
belts and other safety
features that help protect you and your pas-sengers in an accident.Seat belts are the most important safetydevice. When worn properly, seat belts canreduce the chance of serious injury or deathin various types of crashes. For added protec-tion during a severe fr
ontal collision, your
vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System(SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen-gers. The seats, head restraints, and doorlocks also are safety equipment, which mustbe used correctly.Always check the following before you drive:That everyone in your vehicle is properlywearing their seat belt.That infants and small children are prop-erly secured in an appropriate childrestraint system in the rear seat.That all doors are fully closed and locked.That seatbacks are upright, with headrestraints properly adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury ordeath in all motor ve
hicle accidents. How-
ever, you can help reduce the risk of injury ordeath, by following the instructions in thismanual.
