WARNING

Seat belts must be worn in air bag equipped vehicles:

Depending only on the air bags for protection during an accident is dangerous. Alone,

air bags may not prevent serious injuries. The appropriate air bags can be expected to

inflate only in the first collision with frontal, near frontal or side forces that are at

least moderate. 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 dangerous. The child could be

hit by a deploying air bag and be seriously injured or even killed. Even if the front

passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates, always move the front

passenger seat as far back as possible. A sleeping child is more likely to lean against

the door and be hit by the side air bag in a moderate, right-side collision. Whenever

possible, always secure a child 1 2 years and under on the rear seat with an

appropriate child-restraint system for the child's age and size.

Never use a rear-facing child-restraint system in the front seat with an air bag that

could deploy:

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 passenger 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.

Do not sit too close to the driver and front passenger air bags:

Sitting too close to the driver and front passeng er air bag modules or placing hands or

feet on them is extremely dangerous. The driver and front passenger air bags inflate

with great force and speed. Serious injuries could occur if someone is too close. The

driver should always hold onto 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.
