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.

A l l 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

).

A l l doors and the tailgate are
closed and locked (see page

10

).

A l l cargo is properly stored or
secured (see page

171

).

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.
