Introduction
The following pages provide
instructions on how to properly
protect the driver, adult passengers
and teenage children who are large
enough and mature enough to drive
or ride in the front seat.
See pages 32 44 for important
guidelines on how to properly
protect infants, small children, and
larger children who ride in your
vehicle.
1.

Close and Lock the Doors

After everyone has entered the
vehicle, be sure the doors are closed
and locked.
Your vehicle has a door
monitor indicator on the
instrument panel to indicate when a
specific door is not tightly closed.
Locking the doors reduces the
chance of someone being thrown out
of the vehicle during a crash, and it
helps prevent passengers from
accidentally opening a door and
falling out.
Locking the doors also helps prevent
an outsider from unexpectedly
opening a door when you come to a
stop.
See page 67 for how to lock the
doors, and page 54 for how the door
monitor indicator works.

Adjust the Front Seats

Adjust the driver's seat as far to the
rear as possible while allowing you to
maintain full control of the vehicle.
Have a front passenger adjust their
seat as far to the rear as possible.
If you sit too close to the steering
wheel or dashboard, you can be
seriously injured by an inflating front
airbag, or by striking the steering
wheel or dashboard.
