Warning!
It is very important for your safety
to be in a proper seating position.
For maximum protection in the
event of a collision always ride in
an upright position with your back
against the seat back.
Fasten your seat belt and ensure
that it is properly positioned on
the body.
Since the airbag inflates with con­
siderable speed and force, a pro­
per seating position will keep you
a safe distance from the airbag:
• Sit properly belted in an upright
position with your back against
the seat back.
• Do not lean with your head or
chest to the steering wheel or
dashboard.
• Adjust the passenger seat as
far as possible rearward from
the dashboard, especially if a
child restraint is installed.
• Infants and small children
should only be seated in a rear
seat and be properly secured
using a child or infant safety
seat/restraint system.
Failure to follow these instruc­
tions can result in severe injuries
to you or other occupants.
