Owner's Manual

Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the
blink
of an eye. If you’re too close to an inflating
air bag, it could seriously injure you. Safety belts
help keep you in position before and during a
crash.
Always wear your safety belt, even with air
bags. The driver should
sit as far back as possible
while
still maintaining control of the vehicle.
Children who are up against,
or very close to, an
air bag when
it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed.
Air bags plus lap-shoulder belts offer
the best protection for adults and older children,
but not for young children and infants. Neither
the vehicle’s safety belt system nor its air bag
system is designed for them. Young children and
infants need the protection that a child restraint
system can provide. Always secure children
properly in your vehicle.
To read how, see the
part of this manual called “Children” and see the
caution labels on the sunvisors and the right front
passenger’s safety belt.
