For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, all occu-
pants including the driver
should always wear their seat
belts whether or not an air bag
is also provided at their seating
position to minimize the risk of
severe injury or death in the
event of a crash. Do not sit or
lean unnecessarily close to the
air bag while the vehicle is in
motion.
Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious
or fatal injury in a crash. All
occupants should sit upright
with the seat back 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 igni-
tion key is removed or the
engine is shut off.
(Continued)(Continued)
Even though your vehicle isequipped with the occupant
detection system, do not
install a child restraint system
in the front passenger seat
position. A child restraint sys-
tem must never be placed in
the front seat. The infant or
child could be severely
injured or killed by an air bag
deployment in case of an acci-
dent.
Children age 12 and under must always be properly
restrained in the rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
the front passenger seat. If a
child over 12 must be seated
in the front seat, he or she
must be properly belted and
the seat should be moved as
far back as possible.
