N00401600153
Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect
you and your passengers in an accident.
Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn
properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or
death in various types of crashes. For added protection during a
severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen-
gers. The seats, head restraints, and door locks also are safety
equipment, which must be used correctly.
Always check the following before you drive:

That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their
seat belt.

That infants and small children are properly secured in
appropriate child restraint systems in the rear seat.

That all doors are fully closed and locked.

That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly
adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor
vehicle accidents. You can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, however, by following the instructions in this manual.

!
Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This
can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an
accident.
After adjusting the seat, make sure that it is securely
locked into position.
To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death during deployment of the driver’s airbag,
always properly wear the seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible while maintain-
ing a position that still enables you to fully apply the
pedals, easily control the steering wheel, and safely
operate the vehicle.
To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death during deployment of the passen-
ger’s airbag, always properly wear the seat belt and
adjust the front passenger’s seat as far back as pos-
sible.
Always place children 12 years old and under in the
rear seat and use appropriate child restraint sys-
tems.
CAUTION
!
Make sure that the seat is adjusted by an adult. If it
is adjusted by a child, an unexpected accident might
occur.
Do not place a cushion or the like between your back
and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of
the head restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.
When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your
hand or leg.
When sliding or reclining the seat rearward, pay
careful attention to the rear seat passengers.

WA R N I N G
!
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the
event of an accident or sudden stop, all seatbacks
should be kept in the upright position while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
Seat belt performance during an accident can be
adversely affected if the seatbacks are reclined. The
more a seatback is reclined, the more likely seat belt
performance will be adversely affected. If the seat
belt is not properly positioned against the body dur-
ing an accident, there is increased risk you will slide
under the belt and receive serious injury or death.
