A CAUTION:
Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is fn motion can
be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do
their job when you’re redined like this.
r
The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it won’t be against
your body. Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash you could
go into it, receiving neck or other injuries,
The lay belt can’t do its job either. In a crash the belt could go
up over pur abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at
your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your
safety belt properly.

the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to automatica\

maintain the temperature at the selected setting.
A telltale light in the
control switch reminds you that the heating system is in use. To preserve
the battery, the heated seats can only be used when
the ignition is turned
on, and are deactivated when the ignition is turned off.
Head Restraints

h
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is
closest to the top of your ears.
This position reduces the chance
of a neck injury in a crash. The head
restraints tilt forward and rearward also.

A CAUTION:
Don’t let anyone ride where they cadt wear a safety beIt
properly. If you are in a crash and you’re not wearing a safety
belt, your injuries can be much worse, You can hit things inside
the vehicle or be ejected from it. You can be seriously injured or
killed. in the same crash, you might not be if you are buckled
up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your
passengers’ belts are fastened properly too.
This figure lights up when you turn the key to “Run” or “Start” when
your safety belt isn’t buckled, and you’ll hear a chime,
too. It’s the
reminder to buckle up.
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law
says to wear safety belts.
Here’s
why: They work.
You never know
if you’ll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don’t
know
if it will be a bad one.
A few crashes are very mild. In them, you won’t get hurt even if you’re
not buckled up. And some crashes can be
so serious, like being hit by a
train, that even buckled up a person wouldn’t survive.
But most crashes
are
in between. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and
sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could be badly hurt or killed.
After
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling
up does matter ... a lot!

With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time
to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the
forces. That’s
why safety belts make such good sense.

--AND THE
Q: Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle afler an accident if I’m wearing a safety
belt?
A: You could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can easily unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down. And
your chance
of being conscious during and after an accident, so you
- can unbuckle and get out, is - much greater if you are belted.
Q t Why don’t they just put in air bags so people won’t have to wear safety
belts?
A: ‘Air bags,” or Supplemental Inflatable Restraint systems, are in some
vehicles today and
will be in more of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only
-- so they work with safety belts, not
instead
of them. Every “air bag” system ever offered for sale has

required the use of safety belts. Even if you're in a vehicle that has ''
air bags," YOU still have to buckle up to get the most protection.
That's true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in side and
other collisions.
Q: IfI'm a good driver, and I never drive farfiom home, why should I wear
safety
belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you're in an accident -- even
one that isn't your fault -- you and your passengers can be hurt.
Being a good driver doesn't protect you from things beyond your
control, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And the greatest
number
of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than 40 mph
(65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
