32 Safety
Front passenger seat
The airbags are interconnected and have a
common warning light. The passenger
airbag module is housed in the fascia above
the glove compartment and is marked
AIRBAG
Both airbags will be inflated in the event of a
moderate to severe frontal, or near-frontal
crash, even if the passenger seat is unoccu-
pied.
WARNING
Never secure a rear-facing child seat in
the right front seat of a car equipped with
a passenger airbag. Inflation of the airbag
in the event of a crash could seriously
injure or kill a child.
WARNING
• Children can be killed or
seriously injured by the
airbag
• The BACK SEAT is the
SAFEST place for children
12 and under or shorter
than 55 inches (140 cm)
• ALWAYS use SAFETY BELTS and
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• NEVER put a rear-facing child seat in
the front
• Sit as far back as possible from the air-
bag.
• Never allow a child to stand in front of
the seat or to sit on the lap of a
front-seat passenger. Serious injury or
death could result if the airbag is
inflated in a crash.
• The glove compartment must be
closed while travelling. An open glove
compartment door could cause leg
injuries in the event of a crash.
• Never place anything on the dash or in
front of the seat as, in addition to being
a hazard to passengers, this could
interfere with the function of the airbag
in the event of a crash. The same
applies to the mounting of accessories
on the dash.
• Keep feet on the floor – never put feet
up on the fascia, on the seat or out of
the window.
• Do not carry anything in your lap.
