Some features do not require any
action on your part. These include a
strong steel framework that forms a
safety cage around the passenger
compartment, front and rear crush
zones, a collapsible steering column,
and tensioners that tighten the front
seat belts in a crash.

However, you and your passengers
can’t take full advantage of these
features unless you remain sitting in
the correct position and always wear
your seat belts. In fact, some safety
features can contribute to injuries if
they are not used properly.

Seat Belts
Help keep you from being thrown
against the inside of the vehicle

an indicator on the instrument panel
and a beeper to remind you and your
passengers to fasten your seat belts.
Keep you from being thrown out

Keep you connected to the vehicle
so you can take advantage of the
vehicle’s built-in safety features.
Of course, seat belts cannot
completely protect you in every

can reduce your risk of serious
injury.
Not wearing a seat belt properly
increases the chance of serious
injury or death in a crash, even
though your vehicle has airbags.

type of crash, including:
－ frontal impacts
－ side impacts

What You Should Do:

Canadian provinces and territories
require you to wear seat belts.

chests of the driver and a front seat
passenger during a moderate to

Your Vehicle’s Safety Features
The most important things you need
to know about your airbags are:
What you should do: Always wear
your seat belt properly, and sit
upright and as far back from the
steering wheel as possible while
allowing full control of the vehicle. A
front passenger should move their
seat as far back from the dashboard
as possible.
The rest of this section gives more
detailed information about how you
can maximize your safety.
Airbags do not replace seat belts.
They are designed to supplement
the seat belts.
Remember, however, that no safety
system can prevent all injuries or
deaths that can occur in a severe
crash, even when seat belts are
properly worn and the airbags deploy.
Airbags offer no protection in rear
collisions, or minor frontal or side
collisions.
Airbags can pose serious hazards.
To do their job, airbags must
inflate with tremendous force. So
while airbags help save lives, they
can cause minor injuries or more
serious or even fatal injuries if
occupants are not properly
restrained or sitting properly.
