may be standard equipment on some models, or

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 passengers as safe as
possible.
Here are some simple steps you can take to mini-
mize 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.
2. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehicle
seat belt properly (Refer to “Child Restraints” in
this section for further information) must be se-
cured in the appropriate child restraint or belt-
positioning booster seat in a rear seating
position.
3. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a rear-
facing child restraint) must ride in the front pas-
senger 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).
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt
behind them or under their arm.
5. You 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 deployment oc-
curs, 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.
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.
