this section may be standard equipment

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 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.
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 information) should be secured in
the rear seat of a vehicle with a rear seat
in child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do not
use child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats should ride properly
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. 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 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.
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.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in
the rear seat of a vehicle with a rear seat.
