Safety system of your vehicle
The front air bags are designed to sup-
plement the three-point seat belts. For
these air bags to provide protection, the
seat belts must be worn at all times when
driving.
You can be severely injured or killed in an
accident if you are not wearing a seat
belt. Air bags are designed to supple-
ment seat belts, but do not replace them.
Also, air bags are not designed to deploy
in every collision. In some accidents, the
seat belts are the only restraint protect-
ing you.
WARNING- AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• ALWAYS use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time, every-
one! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or killed in a collision
if you are improperly belted or not wearing your seat belt when the air bag
inflates.
• NEVER place a child in any child restraint or booster seat in the front pas-
senger seat. An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant or child
causing serious or fatal injuries.
• ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the safest
place for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older must be seat-
ed in the front seat, he or she must be properly belted and the seat should
be moved as far back as possible.
• All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked and the
engine is turned off. If an occupant is out of position during an accident,
the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact the occupant causing
serious or fatal injuries.
• You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to
the air bags or lean against the door or center console.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, while still main-
taining control of the vehicle. It is recommended that drivers allow at least
25 cm (10 inches) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.
