Protecting Adults
Introduction
The
following pages provide
instructions on how to properly
protect adult occupants.
These
instructions also apply to a
child whom you have decided is
large enough and mature enough to
ride as a passenger. (See page
29
for
important additional guidelines on
how to properly protect larger
children.)
1. Close and Lock the Doors
After everyone has entered the car,
be sure the doors are closed and
locked.

Driver and
Passenger
Safety
~
Your car has a door
~
monitor light on the
instrument panel to indicate when a
specific door is
not tightly closed.
For safety, locking the doors reduces
the chance
that
a passenger,
especially a child,
will
open a door
while the car is moving and
accidentally fall out.
It
also reduces
the chance of someone being thrown
out of the car during a crash.
For security, locked doors can
prevent an outsider from
unexpectedly opening a door when
you come to a stop.
See page
58
for how to lock the
doors.
2.Adjust
the
Front
Seats
Any driver who sits too close to the
steering wheel is at risk of being
seriously injured or killed by striking
the steering wheel,
or
from being
struck by an inflating airbag during a
crash.
