remain seated in the correct position and always wear your seat belts. In fact, some safety
features can contribute to injuries if they are not used properly.

Safety Checklist

For the safety of you and your passengers, make a habit of checking these items each time
before you drive.
• Adjust your seat to a position suitable for driving. Be sure the front seats are adjusted as
far to the rear as possible while allowing the driver to control the vehicle. Sitting too close
to a front airbag can result in serious or fatal injury in a crash.

• Adjust head restraints to the proper position. Head restraints are most effective when the
centre of the head restraint aligns with the centre of your head. Taller persons should
adjust their head restraint to the highest position.
