Any driver who sits too close to the
steering wheel is at risk of being
seriously injured or killed by striking
the steering wheel, or from being
struck by an inflating airbag during a
crash.

The following pages provide
instructions on how to properly
protect adult occupants.

After everyone has entered the car,
be sure the doors are closed and
locked.

These instructions also apply to a
child whom you have decided is
large enough and mature enough to
ride as a passenger. (See page

for

important additional guidelines on
how to properly protect larger
children.)

Your car has a door monitor light on
the instrument panel to indicate
when a specific door is not tightly
closed.

For safety, locking the doors reduces
the chance that a passenger,
especially a child, will open a door
while the car is moving and
accidentally fall out. It also reduces
the chance of someone being thrown
out of the car during a crash.

For security, locked doors can
prevent an outsider from
unexpectedly opening a door when
you come to a stop.

See page

for how to lock the

doors.
