Important Safety Precautions
AIR BAGS
CAUTION
Both the safety belt restraint
system and the air bag restraint
system are designed to best
protect adults.
Anyone who is up against, or
very close to, an inflating air
bag could be seriously injured
or killed.
CAUTION
(Continued)
Be sure that if children are too
small to be well restrained by
the safety belt system, that they
are secured in an appropriate
child restraint.
The presence of an airbag is not
a substitute for a safety belt and
is only effective in conjunction
with the safety belts.
CAUTION
(Continued)
Air bags are designed to be
used with the safety belts. Even
with an air bag, if you are in a
crash and not wearing a safety
belt, your injuries could be
much worse.
If you are too close to an inflat-
ing air bag, it could seriously
injure you. Safety belts help
keep you in position in case an
air bag inflates in a collision.
The driver should sit as far back
as possible while still able to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The path of an inflating air bag
must be kept clear of any
objects at all times.

Important Safety Precautions
CAUTION
(Continued)
When an air bag inflates, it
leaves dust in the air. This dust
could cause breathing prob-
lems for people with a history of
asthma or other breathing trou-
ble. To avoid this, everyone in
the vehicle should get out as
soon as it is safe to do so. If you
are unable to get out of the
vehicle, then open a window or
door.
CHILDREN AND SAFETY
RESTRAINTS
CAUTION
Never hold a baby in your arms
while riding in a vehicle. During
a crash a baby will become so
heavy you can’t hold it. For
example, in a crash at only
40 km/h, a 5.5 kg baby will
suddenly become a 110 kg
force on your arms. The baby
would be almost impossible to
hold. Secure the baby in an
infant restraint.
CAUTION
(Continued)
A rear-facing child restraint in
the front seat could be pushed
into the seatback by the front
passenger's air bag if it inflates.
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured if this happens. In vehi-
cles with the front passenger's
inflatable restraint system,
always secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat.
