the front passenger should move the seat as far back as possible
and sit upright and well back in the seat.

Do not place any objects over the SRS AIRBAG cover or
between you and the SRS AIRBAG. If the SRS AIRBAG deploys,
those objects could interfere with its proper operation and could
be propelled inside the car and cause injury.

WARNING
D
Be sure to put children aged 12 and under in the rear seat
properly restrained at all times. The SRS AIRBAG deploys with
considerable speed and force and can injure or even kill children,
especially if they are 12 years of age and under and are not re-
strained or improperly restrained. Because children are lighter
and weaker than adults, their risk of being injured from deploy-
ment is greater. For that reason, we strongly recommend that
ALL children (including those in child seats and those that have
outgrown child restraint devices) sit in the REAR seat properly
restrained at all times in a child restraint device or in a seat belt,
whichever is appropriate for the child’s age, height and weight.
Be sure to secure ALL types of child restraint devices (including
forward facing child seats) in the REAR seats at all times.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating
positions.
