Page: 133 / 330

WARNING:

All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver,

should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an air

bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is provided.

WARNING:

When possible, all children 12 years old and under

should be properly restrained in a rear seating position.

WARNING:

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

(NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 inches

(25 cm) between an occupant’s chest and the driver airbag module.

WARNING:

Never place your arm over the airbag module as a

deploying airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other

injuries.

Steps you can take to properly position yourself away from the airbag:

•

Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.

•

Recline the seat slightly (one or two degrees) from the upright
position.

WARNING:

Do not put anything on or over the airbag module.

Placing objects on or over the airbag inflation area may cause

those objects to be propelled by the airbag into your face and torso
causing serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the

airbag supplemental restraint system (SRS) or its fuses. See your

authorized dealer.

WARNING:

Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of

the vehicle (including frame, bumper, front end body structure

and tow hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system,
increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of the
vehicle.
