Door Locks

Keeping your doors locked

reduces the chance of being

thrown out of the vehicle during

a crash. It also helps prevent

occupants from accidentally

opening a door and falling out,

and outsiders from unexpectedly

opening your doors.

Pre-Drive Safety Checklist

To make sure you and your

passengers get the maximum

protection from your vehicle's

safety features, check the

following each time before you

drive away.

All adults, and children who

have outgrown child safety

seats, are wearing their seat

belts and wearing them

properly (see page

13

).

Any infant or small child is

properly restrained in a child

seat in the back seat (see page

18

).

Front seat occupants are sitting

upright and as far back as

possible from the steering

wheel and dashboard (see page

10

).

Seat-backs are upright (see

page

11

).

Head restraints are properly

adjusted (see page

12

).

All doors and the tailgate are

closed and locked (see page

10

).

All cargo is properly stored or

secured (see page

175

).

The rest of this section gives more

detailed information about how

you can maximize your safety.

Remember, however, that no

safety system can prevent all

injuries or deaths that can occur in

severe crashes, even when seat

belts are properly worn and the

airbags deploy.
