SAFETY FEATURES AND EQUIPMENT
EMERGENCY EXITS
Locate and learn how to use all possible
emergency exits. It is good practice to inform
passengers of the location of exits and how to
use them in case of an emergency.
SIDE WINDOWS
Some side windows can be opened from the
inside for emergency exit. A decal located on
the bottom of each passenger window indicates
the location of the nearest emergency exit.
Also, blue lights close to the wall in the overhead
storage compartments illuminate the emergency
exit decals. These lights illuminate when the
general lighting switch is on.
