WARNING
 IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS
WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY
EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.
• Seat belts help keep the driver and pas-
sengers properly positioned. This
reduces the risk of injury in all collisions,
and reduces the risk of serious injuries or
death when the airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a col-
lision, an unrestrained or improperly
restrained driver or passengers can move
forward into direct contact with, or
within close proximity to, the airbag
when it begins to inflate.
The beginning stage of airbag inflation is
the most forceful and can cause serious
injuries or death if the occupant comes in
contact with the airbag at this time.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in
rear impact collisions, and in lower-
speed frontal collisions because the air-
bags are not designed to inflate in those
situations.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of being
thrown from your vehicle in a collision or
rollover.
 IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PROP-
ERLY SEATED.
• A driver or front passenger sitting too
close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel during airbag deployment can be
seriously injured or killed.
• Airbags inflate very quickly and with
great force. If the driver and front pas-
senger are not properly seated and
restrained, the airbag may not provide
the proper protection, and can cause
serious injuries or death when it inflates.
• To reduce the risk to the driver of serious
injury or death due to a deploying
driver’s airbag, always properly wear
your seat belt and adjust the driver’s seat
as far back as possible, maintaining a
position that still allows the driver to
have good control of the steering wheel,
brake, accelerator, and other vehicle con-
trols.
• To reduce the risk to the front passenger
of serious injury or death from a deploy-
ing passenger’s airbag, make sure the
passenger always wears the seat belt
properly, remains seated upright and all
the way back in the seat, and positions
the seat as far back as possible.
• Seat all infants and children in the rear
seat, properly restrained in an appropri-
ate child restraint system.
WARNING
 Airbags inflate very quickly and with
great force. Do not sit on the edge of the
seat or sit with your lower legs too close to
the instrument panel, or lean your head or
chest close to the steering wheel or the
instrument panel.

Do not put your feet or legs on or against
the instrument panel.
WARNING
 Infants and small children should never
ride unrestrained, or lean against the
instrument panel. They should never ride
held in your arms or on your lap. They
can be seriously injured or killed in an
accident, especially when the airbags
inflate. Seat all infants and children in the
rear seat, properly restrained in an appro-
priate child restraint system. Refer to
“Child restraint systems” on page 4-19.
