WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. Theair bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air
bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air
Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need room to
inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time, including babies and
children. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for
ignoring it.
There are different sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child
almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat Owner’s Manual
to ensure you have the correct seat for your child. Use the restraint that is correct for your
child.
Infant and Child Restraints
• Safety experts recommend that children ride rearward-facing in the vehicle until they are two years old or until they reach either the height or weight limit of their rear facing
child safety seat. Two types of child restraints can be used rearward-facing: infant
carriers and convertible child seats.
• The infant carrier is only used rearward-facing in the vehicle. It is recommended for children from birth until they reach the weight or height limit of the infant carrier.
Convertible child seats can be used either rearward-facing or forward-facing in the
vehicle. Convertible child seats often have a higher weight limit in the rearward-facing
direction than infant carriers do, so they can be used rearward-facing by children who
have outgrown their infant carrier but are still less than at least two years old. Children
should remain rearward-facing until they reach the highest weight or height allowed by
their convertible child seat.
