WARNING
Children should not ride in the front
passenger seat:
Placing a child, 12 years or under, in
the front seat is dangerous. The child
could be hit by a deploying air bag
and be seriously injured or even killed.
A sleeping child is more likely to lean
against the door and be hit by the side
air bag in moderate, right-side
collision. Whenever possible, always
secure a child 12 years and under on
the rear seats with an appropriate
child-restraint system for the child's
age and size.
Extreme Hazard! Never use a rear-
facing child-restraint system on the
front passenger seat with an air bag
that could deploy:
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front of
it!
Even in a moderate collision, the
child-restraint system can be hit by a
deploying air bag and moved violently
backward resulting in serious injury
or death to the child. If your vehicle is
equipped with a front passenger air
bag deactivation switch, always set the
switch to the OFF position when
installing a rear-facing child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat.
WARNING
Do not sit too close to the driver and
front passenger air bags:
Sitting too close to the driver and front
passenger air bag modules or placing
hands or feet on them is extremely
dangerous. The driver and front
passenger air bags inflate with great
force and speed. Serious injuries could
occur if someone is too close. The
driver should always hold onto only
the rim of the steering wheel. The
front seat passenger should keep both
feet on the floor. Front seat occupants
should adjust their seats as far back as
possible and always sit upright against
the seatbacks with seat belts worn
properly.
Sit in the centre of the seat and wear
seat belts properly:
Sitting too close to the side air bag
modules or placing hands on them is
extremely dangerous. The side air
bags inflate with great force and speed
directly out of the outboard side of the
front seat and expand along the front
door on the side the car is hit. Serious
injury could occur if someone is sitting
too close to the door or leaning
against a window, or if rear seat
occupants grab the sides of the front
seatbacks. Furthermore, sleeping up
against the door or hanging out the
windows in the vehicle could block the
side and curtain air bags and
eliminate the advantages of
supplementary protection. Give the
side and curtain air bags room to work
by sitting in the centre of the seat
while the vehicle is moving with seat
belts worn properly.
