However, you and your passengers
can’t take full advantage of these
safety features unless you remain
sitting in a proper position and
always wear your seat belts properly.
In fact, some safety features can
contribute to injuries if they are not
used properly.
The following pages explain how you
can take an active role in protecting
yourself and your passengers.
Seat belts are the single most
effective safety device for adults and
larger children (Infants and smaller
children must be properly restrained
in child seats).
In addition, most states and all
Canadian provinces require you to
wear seat belts.
Your vehicle is equipped with seat
belts in all seating positions.
Not wearing a seat belt properly
increases the chance of serious
injury or death in a crash, even
though your vehicle has airbags.
Your seat belt system also includes
an indicator on the instrument panel
to remind you and your passengers
to fasten your seat belts.
