Pre-Drive Safety Checklist
To make sure you and your
passengers get the maximum
protection from your car's safety
features, check the following each
time before you drive away:
All adults, and children who have
outgrown child restraint systems,
are wearing their seat belts and
wearing them properly (see page
19
).
Any infant or small child is
properly restrained in a child
restraint system in the back seat
(see page

Front seat occupants are sitting
upright and as far back as possible
from the steering wheel and
dashboard (see page

Seat-backs are upright (see page

All doors are closed (see page
All luggage is properly stored or

The rest of this section gives more

Remember, however, that no safety
system can prevent all injuries or
deaths that can occur in severe
crashes, even when seat belts are
properly worn and the airbags deploy.
