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.

All seats are equipped with a seat belt whichuses one combined lap-and-shoulder belt withan emergency locking retractor.This system is designed to provide both com-fort and safety. It perm
its full extension and
automatic retraction of the belts during nor-mal vehicle operation.
A sensing device
inside the belt retractor is designed to lock theretractor in the event of a sudden change inthe vehicle’s motion.
1. Occupants should always
sit back in their
seats with their backs against the uprightseatback. To reduce
the risk of serious
injury or death during deployment of theairbag, adjust the driver’s seat as far backas possible while maintaining a positionthat still enables you to fully apply thepedals, easily control the steering wheel,and safely operate the vehicle. The frontpassenger seat should also be moved asfar back as possible. Refer to “Supple-mental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag”on page 4-35.

an accident or sud-
