WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.
Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag. If

you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the
seat upon which the child seat is installed all the way back.

The driver and front passenger
airbags will deploy during significant
frontal and near frontal crashes.

The driver and passenger front airbag system consists of:
• Driver and passenger airbag modules.

• Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness

indicator. See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator later in
this chapter.

Proper Driver and Front Passenger Seating Adjustment

WARNING: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 inches

(25 centimeters) between an occupant’s chest and the driver airbag
module. Failure to follow this could seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.

To properly position yourself away from the airbag:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the

pedals comfortably.

• Recline the seat slightly (one or two degrees) from the upright

position.
