Front airbags for both the driver and front passenger
Pretensioning and load-limiting retractors for the front
seat belts
Knee Impact Blocker panels for front seat occupants
Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC)
that span the front and second rows for sedans (if
equipped)
Front seat belt retractors that incorporate pretension-

passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle.

buckled up properly.
Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver, even
