SAFETY AROUND EVERY TURN
Nothing is more important than your safety and security on the road. Vehicle
safety and security features have been created to keep you and your family
protected on the road. Be sure to read your Owner’s Manual to learn which
features are included on your vehicle and how to properly operate them.
SAFETY BELT TIPS
• Lap belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs.
• Shoulder belt portion should be worn across the chest and over the shoulder.
• According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, safety belt use
reduces occupant fatality rates by 50 percent.
TIPS FOR SMALL-STATURE ADULTS
If you have trouble reaching the pedals of your vehicle and tend to sit very
close to the steering wheel, you could be hit by the air bag when it inflates
with enough force to experience serious injury. To help prevent an injury
from occurring:
• Always wear your safety belt.
• Sit as far back as possible while maintaining control of your vehicle.
• Adjustable foot pedals are available in some vehicles and can help
small-stature adults sit farther from the air bag.
