Safety Checklist

For the safety of you and your passengers, make a habit of checking these items each time before you drive.

• After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure all doors and the hatch are closed and locked. Locking the doors and the hatch helps prevent an occupant from being ejected and an outsider from unexpectedly opening a door or the hatch.
  

  Locking/Unlocking the Doors from the Inside

• Adjust your seat to a position suitable for driving. Be sure the front seats are adjusted as far to the rear as possible while allowing the driver to control the vehicle. Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious or fatal injury in a crash.

• Adjust head restraints to the proper position. Head restraints are most effective when the center of the head restraint aligns with the center of your head. Taller persons should adjust their head restraint to the highest position.
  

  Adjusting the Front Head Restraint Positions

• Always wear your seat belt, and make sure you wear it properly. Confirm that any passengers are properly belted as well.
  

  Fastening a Seat Belt

• Protect children by using seat belts or child seats according to a child’s age, height, and weight.
