Important Safety Precautions
Please pay close attention to the information in
this section. It tells you how to use your restraint
system properly , to keep you and your passen-
gers as safe as possible.
Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air
bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should
always ride buckled up in the rear seat of a
vehicle with a rear seat.
If your vehicle is not equipped with a rear
seat, FCA recommends that you do not
allow children 12 years old and under to
ride in your vehicle.
2. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a
rear -facing child restraint) must ride in the
front passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible and use the proper child
restraint (refer to “Child Restraints” in this
section for further information).
3. Children that are not big enough to wear the
vehicle seat belt properly (refer to “Child
Restraints” in this section for further infor-
mation) should be secured in the rear seat of
a vehicle with a rear seat in child restraints or
belt-positioning booster seats. Older chil-
dren who do not use child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats should ride prop-
erly buckled up in the rear seat of a vehicle
with a rear seat.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder
belt behind them or under their arm.
5. Y ou should read the instructions provided
with your child restraint to make sure that
you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap
and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats should
be moved back as far as practical to allow
the front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window . If
your vehicle has side air bags, and deploy-
ment occurs, the side air bags will inflate
forcefully into the space between occupants
and the door and occupants could be
injured.
9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to
be modified to accommodate a disabled
person, refer to the “Customer Assistance”
section for customer service contact
information.
