EAT ELT YSTEMS
Buckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the road
may be a poor driver and could cause a collision
that includes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives,
and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries
in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat
belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the
risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Vehicles Without Passenger Seating
Installed
If your vehicle does not have a factory installed
front passenger seat and/or rear passenger
seats, the features described in this section
may not be available in your vehicle.
This vehicle has been designed to maximize
total performance. The passenger seats may be
deleted, which may affect the NVH (Noise,
Vibration, and Harshness) characteristics. As a
result, the vehicle may be louder overall.
Furthermore, the passenger seats and seat
belts system are deleted.
WARNING!
If the passenger and/or rear seats have

been removed, do not ride in those areas.
In a collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
WARNING! (Continued)
If this vehicle was not factory equipped with

a passenger seat, NEVER attempt to install
a passenger seat because the safety
systems, including the air bags and seat-
belt, may not properly protect you.
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,

inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in this area are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
Only ride in available seating positions

equipped with seat belt systems. Always
properly wear your seat belt. Failure to do
so could result in an increased risk of
serious injury or death in the event of an
accident.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat

and using a seat belt properly. Occupants,
including the driver, should always wear
their seat belts whether or not an air bag is
also provided at their seating positions to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
