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 are closed and locked. 
Locking the doors helps prevent an occupant from being ejected and an outsider 
from unexpectedly opening a door.

Locking/Unlocking the Doors from the Inside
P. 166
•
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 Restraints

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

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

If the door and/or trunk open message appears on 
the driver information interface, a door and/or the 
trunk is not completely closed. Close all doors and 
the trunk tightly until the message disappears.
