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
deployment 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 mo
dified to accommodate a
disabled person, refer to the “Customer
Assistance” section for customer service
contact information.
Seat Belt Systems
Buckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and could cause a
collision that includes you. This can happen
far away from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save
lives, an
d they can reduce the seriousness of
injuries in a collision. Some of the worst inju
-
ries happen when people are thrown from the
vehicle.
Seat belts reduce the possibility of
ejection and the risk of injury caused by
striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in
a motor vehicle should be belted at all times.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlert)
Driver And Passenger BeltAlert — If Equipped
BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind
the driver and outboard front seat passenger
(if equip
ped with outboard front passenger
seat BeltAlert) to buckle their seat belts. The
Belt Alert feature is active whenever the igni
-
tion switch is in the START or ON/RUN posi-
tion.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the ignition
switch is
first in the START or ON/RUN posi-
tion, a chime will signal for a few seconds. If
t
he drive
r or outboard front seat passenger (if
equipped with outboard front passenger seat
BeltAlert) is unbuckled when the ignition
switch is first in the START or ON/RUN posi
-
tion the Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn
on and re
main on until both outboard front
seat belts are buckled. The outboard front
passenger seat BeltAlert is not active when
an outboard front passenger seat is unoccu
-
pied.
BeltAlert Warning Sequence
The BeltAlert warning sequence is activated
w
hen the
vehicle is moving above a specified
vehicle speed range and the driver or
outboard front seat passenger is unbuckled
(if equipped with outboard front passenger
seat BeltAlert) (the outboard front passenger
seat BeltAlert is not active when the
outboard front passenger seat is unoccu
-
pied). The BeltAlert warning sequence starts
by blinki
ng the Seat Belt Reminder Light and
sounding an intermittent chime. Once the
BeltAlert warning sequence has completed,
the Seat Belt Reminder Light will remain on
until the seat belts are buckled. The
WARNING!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in front of an air bag. A deploying
passenger front air bag can cause death
or serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a
rear-facing child restraint.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint
in the front seat of a vehicle. Only use a
rear-facing child restraint in the rear
seat. If the vehicle does not have a rear
seat, do not transport a rear-facing child
restraint in that vehicle.
