NOTE:

The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multistage

inflator design. This allows the air bag to have different

rates of inflation based on the severity and type of

collision.
Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the

risk of harm from a deploying air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride

buckled up in a rear seat.

WARNING!

Infants in rear facing child restraints should never
ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag. An air bag deployment can
cause severe injury or death to infants in that posi-
tion.

Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle seat

belt properly (see section on Child Restraints) should be

secured in the rear seat in child restraints or belt-

positioning booster seats. Older children who do not use

child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats should

ride properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow

children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under

their arm.
If a child from 1 to 12 years old (not in a rear facing child

seat) must ride in the front passenger seat, move the seat

as far back as possible and use the proper child restraint.

(Refer to “Child Restraints”)
You should read the instructions provided with your

child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly.
2. All occupants should always wear their lap and

shoulder belts properly.

3. The driver and front passenger seats should be

moved back as far as practical to allow the Advanced
Front Air Bags room to inflate.
