Controls
This
section tells you about the seats-
how
to
adjust them-and
also
about
rechmg seatbacks
and
head restraints.
Manual Front Seat
CAUTION
A
You can lose control
of
the
vehicle
if
you
try
to
adjust a
manual driver’s seat while
the
vehicle
is
moving. The sudden
movement could startle and
confuse
you,
or make
you
push
a
pedal
when
you
don’t
want
to.
Adjust
the
driver’s seat
only
when
the vehicle
is
not moving.
Move
the
control lever under the front
of
the seat
to
unlock
it.
Slide
the seat
to
where you want
it.
Then
release the
lever and
try
to
move the seat with
your
body,
to
m&
sure the seat
is
locked
into
place.
Sitting in a reclined position
when your vehicle is
in
motion can be dangerous. Even
ii
you buckle up, your safety belts
can’t do their job when you’re
reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t do its job
because it won’t
be
against your
body. Instead, it will be
in
front of
you.
In
a crash you could go into
it,
receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can’t
do
its
job
either.
In a crash the belt could go up over
your abdomen. The belt forces
would be there, not at your pelvic

bones.
This
could cause
serious
internal
injuries.
For
proper protection
when
the
vehicle
is
in
motion, have the
seatback upright.
Then
sit well
back
in
the
seat and
wear
your
safety
belt
properly.

rn
Head Restmints
Slide the head restraint up or down
so
that the top
of
the restraint is closest
to
the
top
of
your
ears.
This
position reduces
the
chance
of
a
neck injury in a crash.

For
Everyone
This
part
of
the
manual
tells you
how
to
use safety belts properly.
It
also
tells
you
some things you
should
not do with
safety belts. And
it
explains the
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or
“air
bag” system.
Don’t let anyone ride where
they can’t wear a safety belt
properly.
If
you are in a crash and
you’re not wearing a safety belt,
your injuries can be
much
worse.
You can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from it. You

belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a
chime,
too.
It’s the reminder to buckle
up.
In
many
states
and Canadian
provinces, the law says to wear safety
belts. Here’s why:
They
work.
You never know
if
you’ll be
in
a crash.
If
you do have a crash,
you
don’t know
if
it
will
be a bad one.
A
few
crashes
are
very mild.
In
them,
you won’t get hurt even
if
you’re
not
buckled up. And some crashes can be
so
serious,
like
being
hit
by a
train,
that
even buckled up a person wouldn’t
survive. But most crashes
are
in
between.
In
many
of
them,
people who
buckle up can
survive
and sometimes
walk
away. Without belts they could be
badly hurt or killed.
After
25
years
of
safety belts
in
vehicles,
the facts are clear.
In
most crashes
buckling up does matter.

Why
Safety Belts
Work
When you ride
in
or
on anything, you
go
as fast
as
it goes.
1.
For
example, if the bike
is
going
10
mph
(16
km/h),
so
is
the child.
2.
When the bike
hits
the block, it
stops. But the
child
keeps going!

Take the simplest
“car.”
Suppose
it’s just
a
seat on wheels.

Here Are Questions Many People

can easily unbuckle a safety belt,
even
if
you’re upside down. And
your chance
of
being conscious
during and after an accident,
so
you
can
unbuckle and get out, is
much
greater
if
you are belted.

Q:
Why
don’t they just put

air
bags
so
people
won’t,.bave to wear
safety belts?
Inflatable Restraint systems, are
in
some vehicles today and wiU be in
more of them
in
the future. But they
are supplemental systems only-so
they work
with
safety belts, not
instead of them. Every
“air
bag”
system ever offered for sale has
required the use of safety belts. Even
if you’re
in
a vehicle that has “air
bags,” you still have to buckle up to
get the most protection. That’s
true
not only
in
frontal collisions, but
especially
in
side and other
collisions.

If
I’m
a
good driver, and
I

that isn’t your fault-you and your
passengers can be hurt. Being a

You
may be an excellent driver, but
things
beyond your control, such as
bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25
miles
(40
km)
of
home. And the greatest
number of serious injuries and deaths
occur at speeds of less than
40
mph
(65
km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
