Driver and Passenger Safety Important Safety Precautions You‘ll find many safety recommendations throughout this section and this manual. The following recommendations are the ones we consider to be the most important. Always Wear Your Seat Belt A seat belt is the best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to supplement seat belts, but they are designed to inflate when the vehicle engages in a severe frontal impact.

These include a strong steel framework that forms a safety cage around the passenger compartment; front and rear crush zones will absorb the impact energy by crumpling in a crash, a collapsible steering column, and tensioners that tighten the front seat belts in a crash.
