Your
Car's
Safety Features
Seats
& Seat-Backs
Your car's seats are designed to keep
you in a comfortable, upright
position so you can take full
advantage of
the
protection offered
by seat belts and the energy
absorbing materials in
the
seats.
How you adjust your seats and seat-
backs can also affect your safety.
For
example, sitting too close to the
steering wheel or dashboard
increases the risk of you
or
your
passenger being injured by striking
the inside of the car, or by an
inflating airbag.
Reclining a seat-back too far reduces
the seat belt's effectiveness and
increases
the
chance that
the
seat's
occupant
will
slide under the seat
belt
in
a crash and be seriously
injured.
10
Driver
and
Passenger
Safety
What
you
should
do: Move the seats
as far back as possible, and keep
adjustable seat-backs in an upright
position whenever
the
car is moving.
Head
Restraints
Head restraints can help protect you
from whiplash and other injuries.
Door
Locks
Keeping your doors locked reduces
the chance of being thrown out of
the car during a crash.
It
also helps
prevent occupants from accidentally
opening a door and falling out, and
outsiders from unexpectedly opening
your doors.
