SEATS AND SEATBELTS
3–23
WARNING
(3) Seat belts reduce the risk of being
thrown from your vehicle in a
collision or roll-over.
WARNING
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close
to the steering wheel or instrument
panel during air bag deployment can
be killed or seriously injured.
Air bags inflate very fast, and with
great force.
If the driver and front passenger are
not properly seated and restrained,
the air bags may not protect you
properly, and could cause serious or
fatal injuries when it inflates.
(1) Before driving, adjust the driver’s
seat as far back as possible while
still maintaining complete control
of the vehicle.
(2) Before driving, adjust the front
passenger seat as far back as
possible.
(3) Make sure all vehicle occupants
are always properly restrained
using the available seat belts.
(4) With seat belts properly fastened
the driver and front passenger
should sit well back and upright
without leaning against the win-
dow or door.

children in the rear seat and
properly restrained using an ap-
propriate child restraint system.

fants and children.
