SAFETY 283
(Continued)
Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should
always ride buckled up in the rear seat of a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Warning Label On Front Passenger Sun Visor
2. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt
behind them or under their arm.
3. You should read the instructions provided with
your child restraint to make sure that you are
using it properly.
4. All occupants should always wear their lap and
shoulder belts properly.
5. The driver and front passenger seats should
be moved back as far as practical to allow the
front air bags room to inflate.
6. Do not lean against the door or window. If your
vehicle has side air bags, and deployment
occurs, the side air bags will inflate forcefully
into the space between occupants and the
door and occupants could be injured.
7. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be
modified to accommodate a disabled person,

Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver,
even on short trips. Someone on the road may be
a poor driver and could cause a collision that
includes you. This can happen far away from home
or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and
they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a
collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when
people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts
reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of
injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle.
Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all
times.
WARNING!

NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in
front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.

It is always recommended to install rear and
forward facing child restraint systems on a
rear outboard seat.

Never install a forward-facing child restraint in
the front seat. Only use a forward-facing child
restraint in the rear seat.

If a rear facing child restraint system must be
installed on the front passenger seat, the
PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
MUST be illuminated.

A deploying passenger front air bag can cause
death or serious injury to a child 12 years old
or younger, including a child in a rear-facing
child restraint.
