Pre-Drive Safety Checklist

To make sure you and your
passengers get the maximum
protection from your vehicle's safety
features, check the following each
time before you drive away:
All adults, and children who have
outgrown child restraint systems,
are wearing their seat belts and
wearing them properly (see page
18 ).
Any infant or small child is
properly restrained in a child
restraint system in the back seat
(see page 24 ).
Front seat occupants are sitting
upright and as far back as possible
from the steering wheel and
dashboard (see page 15 ).
Seat-backs are upright (see page
16 ).
Head restraints are properly
adjusted (see page 17 ).
All doors and the tailgate are
closed (see page 15 ).
All luggage is properly stored or
secured (see page 241 ).
The rest of this section gives more
detailed information about how you
can maximize your safety.
Remember, however, that no safety
system can prevent all injuries or
deaths that can occur in severe
crashes, even when seat belts are
properly worn and the front airbags
(on some types) and side airbags (on
some types) deploy.
