WARNING
!
● IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROPERLY
SEATED.
• A driver or front passenger sitting too close to the
steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag
deployment can be seriously injured or killed.
• Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not properly
seated and restrained, the airbag may not provide
the proper protection and can cause serious inju-
ries or death when it inflates.
• To reduce the risk to the driver of serious injury or
death due to a deploying driver’s airbag, always
properly wear your seat belt and adjust the
driver’s seat as far back as possible, maintaining a
position that still allows the driver to have good
control of the steering wheel, brake, accelerator,
and other vehicle controls.
• To reduce the risk to the front passenger of serious
injury or death from a deploying passenger’s
airbag, make sure the passenger always wears the
seat belt properly, remains seated upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positions the seat as
far back as possible.
• Seat all infants and children in the rear seat, prop-
erly restrained in an appropriate child restraint
system.
WARNING
!
● Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force.
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean your head
or chest close to the steering wheel or the instrument
panel.
● Do not put your feet or legs on or against the instru-
ment panel.
