In-car safety
Note: The following is an overview of your
vehicle safety features and is not intended to
replace the specific instructions found in
your vehicle Owner Manual. Please read
your Owner Manual for complete details
about your vehicle safety features.
Safety Belts
Safety belts are the single most effective safety
devices in your vehicle. DO NOT let anybody,
including rear seat passengers, ride in the
vehicle without buckling their safety belts, or
child safety seats.
To wear the safety belt properly (for adults only):
1 Close and lock the door.
2 Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight.
3 Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt
across you.
4 Push the latch plate into the buckle until it
clicks.
5 Check that the belt fits snugly. The lap part
of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs. The shoul-
der belt should go over the shoulder and
across the chest. To make the lap part tight,
pull up on the shoulder belt.
