SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
All occupants of the vehicle must wear
their seat belts at all times. Seat belts
and child restraints reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries for all occupants
in the event of a collision or sudden stop.
Without a seat belt, occupants could be
shifted too close to a deploying airbag,
strike the interior structure or be thrown
from the vehicle. Properly worn seat
belts greatly reduce these hazards. Even
with advanced airbags, unbelted
occupants can be severely injured by a
deploying airbag. Always follow the
precautions about seat belts, airbags
and occupant safety contained in this
manual.
!
WARNING:
Every person in your vehicle needs to be
properly restrained at all times, including
infants and children. Never hold a child
in your arms or lap when riding in a
vehicle. The violent forces created
during a crash will tear the child from
your arms and throw the child against
the interior. Always use a child restraint
appropriate for your child's height and
weight, see page 1-27.
NOTE:
Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly re-
strained in the rear seat by a child
restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. Before buying
any child restraint system, make sure
that it has a label certifying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
213. The restraint must be appropriate
for your child's height and weight. Check
the label on the child restraint for this
information. See information beginning
on page 1-29.

REAR SEAT WARNING
For the safety of all passengers, luggage
or other cargo should not be piled higher
than the top of the seatback. In addition,
do not place objects on the rear shelf as
they may move forward during braking
or in an accident and may strike and
injure vehicle passengers.
