Your car fits your lifestyle.
Do you fit your car?

Wearing a seatbelt is a simple yet vital safety measure that can save lives. Make sure your seatbelt fits snugly, resting low over your hips and across your shoulder to keep you secure during a collision. The shoulder strap should always be worn over your shoulder—never under your arm or behind your back.

Raise the seat height for a clear view of the road. Ensure you're high enough to see over the steering wheel and hood. Your line of sight should extend at least four meters in front of you, with a minimum distance of 7 to 8 cm (3 inches) above the top of the steering wheel for a safe view.

For a good fit, your ear should hit the midpoint of the headrest, and there should be no more than 6 centimeters (about 2.5 inches) between the restraint and your head—it's fine if it’s touching.

Properly positioning your steering wheel is essential for safety, as it significantly influences the effectiveness of your airbag. The airbag is designed to deploy from the center of the steering wheel and should be aimed at your chest rather than your head or face. This alignment is vital because, in the event of a collision, the airbag must deploy correctly to minimize the risk of injury.

Adjusted mirrors are key to staying safe on the road, helping reduce blind spots and improving visibility. Start with your rearview mirror, adjusting it to see the center of the rear window. For side mirrors, position them to show just the edges of your vehicle, widening your overall view.

From proper installation to knowing when to move from a rear-facing to front-facing car seat, child seats save lives. A study by CAA found that proper booster seats give 59 per cent more protection than just a seatbelt, while a child seat lowers risk of hospitalization by 67 per cent.
