After everyone has entered the
vehicle, be sure the doors are closed
and locked.
If you sit too close to the steering
wheel or dashboard, you can be
seriously injured by an inflating front
airbag, or by striking the steering
wheel or dashboard.
See page
for important guidelines
on how to properly protect infants,
small children, and larger children
who ride in your vehicle.
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 ride in
the front seat.
Remember however, that no safety
system can prevent all injures or
deaths that can occur in severe
crashes, even where seat belts are
properly worn and the airbags deploy.
The rest of this section gives more
detailed information about how you
can maximize your safety.
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.
Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the
rear as possible while allowing you to
maintain control of the vehicle. Have
a front passenger adjust their seat as
far to the rear as possible.
Locking the doors also helps prevent
an outsider from unexpectedly
opening a door when you come to a
stop.
See page
for how to lock the
doors.
