Warning!
It is very important for your
safety to always be in a pro­
perly seated position and to
wear your seat belt.
For maximum protection in
the event of a collision always
be in normal seated 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
considerable speed and force,
a proper seating position will
keep you in a safe distance
from the airbag:
• Sit properly belted in an
upright position with your
back against the seat back.
• Adjust the driver seat as far
as possible rearward, still
permitting proper operation
of vehicle controls.
• Do not lean with your head
or chest close to the steer­
ing wheel or dashboard.
• Adjust the passenger seat
as far as possible rearward
from the dashboard,
especially when a child
restraint is installed.
• Infants and small children
should only be seated in a
rear seat and be properly
secured in a child restraint
system.
• Rear-facing child restraints
must not be used in a front
seat.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in
severe injuries to you or
other occupants.
