Essential Safety Equipment
Expand the open seams on the
rear of the seat bottom slightly
to verify the locations of the
LATCH lower anchors.
The markings above the LATCH
lower anchors indicate the loca-
tions of the LATCH lower anchors
for the attachment of a child-
restraint system.

Refer to Head Restraints on P. 30.
Secure the child-restraint system using BOTH LATCH lower
anchors, following the child-restraint system manufacturer’s instruc-
tion. Pull on the child-restraint to be sure both anchors are
engaged.
If your child-restraint system came equipped with a tether, tha t
means it is very important to properly secure the tether for ch ild
safety. Please carefully follow the child-restraint system manu fac-
turer’s instructions w hen installing tethers.

1-4. SRS Air Bags
WARNING
■Seat belts must be worn in air bag equipped vehicles
Depending only on the air bags for protection during an acciden t is danger-
ous. Alone, air bags may not prevent serious injuries. The appr opriate air
bags can be expected to inflate only in the first accident, suc h as frontal,
near frontal or side collisions or roll-over accidents that are at least moder-
ate. Vehicle occupants should always wear seat belts.
■ Children should not ride in the front passenger seat
Placing a child, 12 years or under, in the front seat is danger ous. The child
could be hit by a deploying air bag and be seriously injured or even killed. A
sleeping child is more likely to lean against the door and be h it by the side
air bag in moderate collision to the front-passenger side of th e vehicle.
Whenever possible, always secure a child 12 years and under on the rear
seats with an appropriate child-restraint system for the child’s age and size.
■ Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system in the front sea t with an
air bag that could deploy
■ Do not sit too close to the driver and fron t passenger air bags
Sitting too close to the driver and front passenger air bag modules or plac-
ing hands or feet on them is extremely dangerous. The driver an d front pas-
senger air bags inflate with great force and speed. Serious injuries could
occur if someone is too close. The driver should always hold on to only the
rim of the steering wheel. The front seat passenger should keep both feet
on the floor. Front seat occupants should adjust their seats as far back as
possible and always sit upright against the seatbacks with seat belts worn
properly.
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on
the front seat are particularly dangerous
even though you may feel assured that a
front passenger air bag will not deploy
based on the fact that the front passen-
ger air bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates. The child-restraint system
can be hit by a deploying air bag and
moved violently backward resulting in
serious injury or death to the child.

Liftgate/Trunk Lid
WARNING
■Never allow a person to ride in the luggage compartment/trunk
Allowing a person to ride in the luggage compartment/trunk is d angerous.
The person in the luggage compartment/trunk could be seriously injured or
killed during sudden braking or a collision.
■ Do not drive with the liftgate/trunk lid open
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is dangerous. An open liftgate/trunk lid
in a moving vehicle will cause exhaust gas to be drawn into the cabin. This
gas contains CO (carbon monoxide), which is colorless, odorless , and
highly poisonous, and it can cause loss of consciousness and de ath. More-
over, an open liftgate/trunk lid could cause occupants to fall out in an acci-
dent.
■ Do not stack or leave loaded luggage unsecured in the luggage c om-
partment
Otherwise, the luggage may move or collapse, resulting in injury or an acci-
dent. In addition, do not load luggage higher than the seatbacks. It may
