USING THE GUIDE

Charts contain safety feature information, results from frontal crash tests and theft
ratings.

Safety feature information covers driver and passenger air bags, anti-lock brakes,
adjustable shoulder belt anchors for more comfortable safety-belt fit and, for passenger
cars, improved side-impact protection.

Features are shown as: S-standard equipment on all vehicles in that car line; N - not
available on any vehicle int hat car line; or A - available on some vehicles in that car
line.

Crash testing is expensive, so all vehicles cannot be tested every year. Cars, light
trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans that are new, popular, redesigned or have improved
safety equipment are selected for testing and bought from dealers.

Additional results for current models will be released at intervals throughout the
year. These vehicles are identified in the Crash Tests column as "to be tested." For
crash-test data on other vehicles tested since 1979, call Auto Safety Hotline: (800)424-
9393.
