OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS

Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems. These include the front
and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, front

passenger. If you will be carrying children too small for
adult-sized belts, your seat belts can also be used to hold
infant and child restraint systems.

NOTE:

The front airbags have a multistage inflator

design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of
inflation that are based on collision severity.

Please pay close attention to the information in this

vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out
of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your
vehicle are buckled up properly.
