Protection features for safer
driving
Traffic accidents can never be
completely eliminated, but they can
be reduced with the aid of modern
technology.
For example, in addition to front
and rear crash absorbing zones,
your vehicle also has lateral impact
protection areas in the side doors,
a seat belt restraint system and
where specified, driver’s and pas-
senger airbags to help provide you
with protection in the event of a
collision.
Integrated anti-submarine ramps in
the front seat cushions help prevent
you from sliding under the belts.
These features are designed to help
reduce the risk of injury.
Help to ensure that these protec-
tion features are never required by
driving cautiously and always stay-
ing alert.
