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.

Older Children and Child Restraints
• Children who are two years old or who have outgrown their rear-facing convertible childseat can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible
child seats used in the forward-facing direction are for children who are over two years
old or who have outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit of their rear-facing
convertible child seat. Children should remain in a forward-facing child seat with a
harness for as long as possible, up to the highest weight or height allowed by the child
seat.
• All children whose weight or height is above the forward-facing limit for the child seat should use a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belts fit properly. If the
child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back
is against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and
belt-positioning booster seat are held in the vehicle by the seat belt.
Children Too Large for Booster Seats
Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably, and whose legs are
long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback,
should use the seat belt in the seat. Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether the
child can use the vehicle’s seat belt alone:
• Can the child sit all the way back against the back of the vehicle seat?
• Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over the front of the vehicle seat – while they are still sitting all the way back?
• Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s shoulder between their neck and arm?
• Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs and not their stomach?
• Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?
If the answer to any of these questions was “no,” then the child still needs to use a booster
seat in this vehicle. If the child is using the lap/shoulder belt, check belt fit periodically.
A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. If the shoulder belt
contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow
a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back.
