that pictures and words work together
to
explain
things quickly.

OFF.
Reclining
Front
Seatbacks
The vertical control described previously in this section
reclines the front seatbacks.
But
don’t have a seatback reclined
if
your vehicle
is
moving.
Sitting in
a
reclined position when your vehicle
is in motion can be dangerous. Even if 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.
1-6
-
Head Restraints
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.
The head restraints tilt forward and rearward also.
There are four different positions. Just grasp the top
of the restraint and move it forward the way you want it
to
go
until you hear a click. It will then be locked into
that position until you need to move it again. Pulling it
forward past the last position will allow the headrest to
return to
its
full rear position.
Safety Belts: They’re 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 Restraint System
(SRS),
or air bag system.
Don’t let anyone ride where he or she 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 can be seriously
injured or killed. In the same crash, you might
not be if you are buckled up. Always fasten your
safety belt, and check that your passengers’ belts
are fastened properly too.
It
is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of
a
vehicle. In
a
collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
Do
not allow people
to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure
everyone in your vehicle is in
a
seat and using a
safety belt properly.
Your vehicle has
a
light
that
comes
on
as a reminder
to buckle up. (See “Safety
Belt Reminder Light” in
the Index.)
In
most 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 mild, and some crashes can be
so
serious 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 have been badly
hurt or killed.
After more than
30
years of safety belts in vehicles,
the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling
up
does
matter
...
a lot!
