with your lower legs too close to the in-
strument panel, or lean head or chest close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Do not put feet or legs on or against
the instrument panel.

rear seat and properly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants
and children.WARNINGl Infants and small children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-strument panel or be held in your arms or on your lap. They could be seriously in-jured or killed in a collision, including when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in an appropriate child restraint system. See the “Child restraint”
section of this owner’s manual.WARNINGl Older children should be seated, properly
wearing the seat belt, with an appropriatebooster seat if needed.Caution for installing the child
