To minimize risk of severe injury in the event of a collision or a suddenstop, both the driver and passen- ger seatbacks should always be in an upright position while the ve-hicle is in motion. The protection provided by the seat belts and airbags in a frontal collision may bereduced significantly when the seatbacks are reclined. There is greater risk that the driver and pas-senger will slide under the seat belt which may result in serious injury if a crash occurs when the seatbacksare reclined. The seat belt and airbags cannot provide proper pro- tection to an occupant if the seatback is reclined.

o The SRS is designed to deploy
the airbags only when an impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than 30° from the forward longitudinal axisof the vehicle and will not deploy in side, rear or rollover impacts. Additionally, the airbags will onlydeploy once. Thus, seat belts must be worn at all times.
o Front airbags are not intended to deploy in light collisions in whichprotection can be provided by the seat belt alone.

Therefore, yourseat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in mo- tion. The airbags deploy only incertain frontal impact conditions severe enough to likely cause significant injury to the vehicleoccupants.

WARNING:
The Passenger Presence Detectionsystem is not intended to preventairbag deployment while a child is in the front passenger's seat. It is intended only as a means to reduceunnecessary collision damage re- pair expense by preventing airbag and seat belt pretensioner deploy-ment when the right front passen- ger seat is unoccupied. Deployment is still possible if only a few poundsare placed upon the seat. There- fore, children must not be trans- ported in the front seat. All childrenmust be seated in the rear seat and properly restrained with the vehicle's restraint system or a childrestraint system appropriate for the child's size and weight.
