PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

WARNING: Airbags DO NOT inflate slowly or gently, and the risk
of injury from a deploying airbag is the greatest close to the trim

covering the airbag module.

WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver,
should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an

airbag supplemental restraint system is provided.

WARNING: Always transport children 12 years old and under in
the back seat and always properly use appropriate child

restraints.

WARNING: Never place your arm over the airbag module as a
deploying airbag can result in serious arm fractures or other

injuries.

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 all the way back.

WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the
airbag supplemental restraint systems or its fuses. Contact your

authorized dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING: Several airbag system components get hot after
inflation. Do not touch them after inflation.

WARNING: If the airbag has deployed, the airbag will not
function again and must be replaced immediately. If the airbag is

not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
