of injury in a crash event. For example, if
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns
sideways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the
chance of injury during a crash is greatly
increased.
Children and Airbags
WARNING
Airbags can kill or injure a child in a
child seat. Never place a rear-facing
child seat in front of an active airbag. If you
must use a forward-facing child seat in the
front seat, move the seat upon which the
child seat is installed all the way back.

Children must always be properly
restrained. Accident statistics suggest that
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions
than in the front seating position. Failure
to follow these instructions may increase
the risk of injury in a crash.
FRONT PASSENGER SENSING
SYSTEM
WARNINGS
Even with Advanced Restraints
Systems, children 12 and under
should be properly restrained in a rear
seating position. Failure to follow this
could seriously increase the risk of injury
or death.
Sitting improperly out of position or
with the seat back reclined too far
can take off weight from the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the front
passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in a crash. Always
sit upright against your seat back, with
your feet on the floor.
Any alteration or modification to the
front passenger seat may affect the
performance of the front passenger
sensing system which could seriously
increase the risk of injury or death.
This system works with sensors that are
part of the front passengers seat and
safety belt to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and determine
if the front passengers frontal airbag
should be enabled (may inflate) or not.
