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

position.

Do not put anything on or over the airbag module. Placing
objects on or over the airbag inflation area may cause those

objects to be propelled by the airbag into your face and torso causing
serious injury.

Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag
supplemental restraint system (SRS) or its fuses. See your

authorized dealer.

Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of the vehicle
(including frame, bumper, front end body structure and tow

hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system, increasing the
risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of the vehicle.

Children and airbags

Children must always be properly
restrained. Accident statistics
suggest that children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the front
seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions may increase the
risk of injury in a collision.

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.
