Seat belt precautions
WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle must
wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraints re‐
duce the risk of serious or fatal inju‐
ries 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 air bag,
strike the interior structure or be
thrown from the vehicle. Properly
worn seat belts greatly reduce these
hazards.
Always follow the precautions about
seat belts, air bags and occupant
seat 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 appro‐
priate for your child's height and
weight.
