Introduction
The following pages provide
instructions on how to properly
protect the driver, adult passengers,
and teenage children who are large
enough and mature enough to drive
or ride in the front.

See pages 34

- 38 for important

guidelines on how to properly protect
infants, small children, and larger
children who ride in your vehicle.

1. Close and Lock the Doors
After everyone has entered the
vehicle, be sure the doors and the
tailgate are closed and locked.

Your vehicle has a door and
tailgate open indicator on

the instrument panel to indicate
when any door or the tailgate is not
tightly closed.

Locking the doors reduces the
chance of someone being thrown out
of the vehicle during a crash, and it
helps prevent passengers from
accidentally opening a door and
falling out.

Locking the doors and the tailgate
also helps prevent an outsider from
unexpectedly opening a door or the
tailgate when you come to a stop.

See page 81 for how to lock the
doors, and page 62 for how the door
and tailgate open indicator works.

Some models have the auto door
locking/unlocking feature. For more
information, see page 83.

2. Adjust the Front Seats

Adjust the driver's seat as far to the
rear as possible while allowing you to
maintain full control of the vehicle.
Have a front passenger adjust their
seat as far to the rear as possible.
