Page 11 CAUTION: Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can not do their job when you are reclined like this. The shoulder belt can not do its job. In a crash, you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries.
Page 12 Head Restraints The front seat head restraints move up and down. Press the button located at the bottom of the head restraint to raise or lower the head restraint. The head restraints tilt forward and rearward, also. The rear seat head restraints work the same as the front head restraints.

Page 15 In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here is why: They work . CAUTION: You never know if you will be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you do not know if it will be a bad one. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so area, inside or outside of a vehicle.

Page 19 Questions and Answers About If I am a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? Safety Belts You may be an excellent driver, but if you are in an accident — even one that is not your fault — you Will I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident and your passengers can be hurt.
Page 20 How to Wear Safety Belts Properly This part is only for people of adult size. Be aware that there are special things to know about safety belts and children. And there are different rules for smaller children and babies. If a child will be riding in your vehicle, see Older Children on page 1-28 or Infants and Young Children on page 1-31 .
Page 21 5. To make the lap part tight, pull down on the buckle end of the belt as you pull up on the shoulder belt. The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones.
Page 22 What is wrong with this? CAUTION: You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury. The shoulder belt should ﬁt against your body. The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give nearly as much protection this way.
Page 23 What is wrong with this? CAUTION: You can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at the pelvic bones.
Page 24 What is wrong with this? CAUTION: You can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury. Also, the belt would apply too much force to the ribs, which are not as strong as shoulder bones.
Page 25 What is wrong with this? CAUTION: You can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you would not have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces. If a belt is twisted, make it straight so it can work properly, or ask your dealer to ﬁx it.
Page 26 Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they do not wear safety belts. To unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle. The belt should go back out of the way.
Page 27 The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it is more likely that the fetus will not be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Page 28 Rear Seat Passengers Lap-Shoulder Belt All rear seating positions have lap-shoulder belts. It is very important for rear seat passengers to buckle Here is how to wear one properly. up! Accident statistics show that unbelted people in the rear seat are hurt more often in crashes than those who are wearing safety belts.

Page 30 CAUTION: You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury. The shoulder belt should ﬁt against your body. The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs.
Page 31 Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for Children and Small Adults Rear shoulder belt comfort guides will provide added safety belt comfort for older children who have outgrown booster seats and for small adults. When installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guide better positions the belt away from the neck and head.

Page 33 Safety Belt Pretensioners Your vehicle has safety belt pretensioners. You will ﬁnd them on the buckle end of the safety belts for the driver and right front passenger. They help the safety belts reduce a person’s forward movement in a moderate to severe frontal and near frontal crash.
Page 34: Safety Belts
Child Restraints What is the proper way to wear safety belts? If possible, an older child should wear a Older Children lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder belt should not cross the face or neck. The lap belt should ﬁt snugly below the hips, just touching the top of the thighs.
Page 35 What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck? If the child is sitting in a seat next to a window, move the child toward the center of the vehicle.
Page 36 CAUTION: Never do this. Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap-shoulder belt, but the shoulder part is behind the child. If the child wears the belt in this way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt.

Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes People should never hold a baby in their the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints. In fact, arms while riding in a vehicle.
Page 38: Child Restraints
CAUTION: Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inﬂates can be seriously injured or killed. Airbags plus lap-shoulder belts offer protection for adults and older children, but not for young children and infants. Neither the vehicle’s safety belt system nor its airbag system is designed for them.
Page 39 For most basic types of child restraints, there are many different models available. When purchasing CAUTION: a child restraint, be sure it is designed to be used in a motor vehicle. If it is, the restraint will have a label saying that it meets federal motor The body structure of a young child is quite vehicle safety standards.

Page 44 CAUTION: Each top tether bracket is designed to anchor only one child restraint. Attaching more than one child restraint to a single bracket could cause the anchor to come loose or even break during a crash. A child or others could be injured if this happens.
Page 45: Top Strap Anchor Location
Top Strap Anchor Location Do not secure a child restraint with a top strap in the right front passenger’s position if a national or local law requires that the top strap be anchored, or if the instructions that come with the child restraint say that the top strap must be anchored.

Page 313 Notice: Engine damage from running your engine without coolant is not covered by your warranty. CAUTION: See Overheated Engine Protection Operating Mode on page 5-31 for information on driving to a safe place in an emergency. Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine parts, can be very hot.
