WARNING!
•
Relying on the air bags alone could lead to
more severe injuries in a collision. The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain
you properly. In some collisions, the air
bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your
seat belts even though you have air bags.
•
Being too close to the steering wheel or
instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious
injury, including death. Air Bags need room
to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending
your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
•
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tain (SABIC) and Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) also need room to inflate. Do
not lean against the door or window. Sit
upright in the center of the seat.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
In a collision, you and your passengers
can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up. You can strike the
interior of your vehicle or other passen-
gers, or you can be thrown out of the
vehicle. Always be sure you and others in
your vehicle are buckled up properly.
•
Being too close to the Supplemental Side
Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) and/or
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag (SAB) during
deployment could cause you to be se-
verely injured or killed.
Buckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and cause a collision
that includes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives,
and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries
in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat
belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the
risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
All seating positions in your vehicle are
equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock
during very sudden stops or collisions. This
feature allows the shoulder part of the belt to
move freely with you under normal conditions.
However, in a collision the belt will lock and
reduce the risk of you striking the inside of the
vehicle or being thrown out.
WARNING!
•
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
•
Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts.
