Additional Safety Precautions
o Never let passengers ride in the cargo
area (trunk) or on top of a folded-down
back seat.
All occupants should sit upright,
fully back in their seats with their seat belts
on and their feet on the floor.
o Passengers should not move out of or
change seats while the vehicle is mov-
ing.
A passenger who is not wearing a seat
belt during a crash or emergency stop can
be thrown against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of the ve-
hicle.
o Each seat belt is designed to restrain one
occupant.
If more than one person uses the
same seat belt, they could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
o Do not use any accessories on seat
belts.
Devices claiming to improve occu-
pant comfort or reposition the seat belt can
reduce the protection provided by the seat
belt and increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash.
o Passengers should not place hard or
sharp objects between themselves and
the airbags.
Carrying hard or sharp objects
on your lap or in your mouth can result in
injuries if an airbag inflates.
o Keep occupants away from the airbag
covers.
All occupants should sit upright, fully
back in their seats with their seat belts on and
their feet on the floor. If occupants are too
close to the airbag covers, they could be
injured if the airbags inflate.
o Do not attach or place objects on or near
the airbag covers.
Any object attached to
or placed on the front or side impact airbag
covers could interfere with the proper opera-
tion of the airbags.
o Do not modify the front seats. Modifica-
tion of the front seats could interfere with the
operation of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem sensing components or side impact
airbags.
o Do not place items under the front seats.
Placing items under the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the supple-
mental restraint system sensing compo-
nents and wiring harnesses.
o Never hold an infant or child on your lap.
The infant or child could be seriously injured
or killed in the event of a crash. All infants and
children should be properly restrained in
appropriate child safety seats or seat belts
in the rear seat.
WARNING:
o Sitting improperly or out of position can
cause occupants to be shifted too close
to a deploying airbag, strike the interior
structure or be thrown from the vehicle
resulting in serious injury or death.
o Always sit upright with the seatback in
an upright position, centered on the
seat cushion with your seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and your feet on
the floor.
Adding Equipment to or Modifying Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle.
If you modify your vehicle by changing your
vehicle's frame, bumper system, front end or
side sheet metal or ride height, this may affect
the operation of your vehicle's airbag system.
