INever let children ride unrestrained
or extend their hands or face out of
the window. Do not attempt to hold
them in your lap or arms. Some ex-

tions.
IChildren may be severely injured or
killed when the supplemental front airbag inflates if they are not properly
restrained.

straint in the front seat. An inflating
supplemental front air bag could se-
riously injury or kill your child. See

WARNING
IThe supplemental side air bags ordi-
narily will not inflate in the event of a
frontal impact, rear impact or lower
severity side collision. Always wear
your seat belts to help reduce the risk
or severity of injury in various kinds
of accidents.

IThe seat belts and the supplemental
side air bag are most effective when
you are sitting well back and upright
in the seat. Supplemental side air bag
inflates with great force. Do not allow
anyone to place their hand, leg or
face near the supplemental side air
bag on the side of the seatback of the
front seat. Do not allow anyone sit-
ting in the front seat to extend their
hand out of the window or lean
against the door. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions areshown in the previous illustrations.
IWhen sitting in the rear seat, do not
hold onto the seatback of the front
seat. If the supplemental side air bag
inflates, the occupant may be seri-
ously injured. Be especially careful
with children, who should always be
properly restrained.
IDo not use seat covers on the front
seatbacks. They may interfere with
supplemental side air bag inflation.
