as far back as possible and use the proper child restraint.
(Refer to information on Child Restraints in this section.)

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
Airbags room to inflate.

4. Do not lean against the door. If your vehicle has side
airbags, and deployment occurs, the side airbags will
inflate forcefully into the space between you and the
door.

5. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be
modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the
customer center. Phone numbers are provided under “If
You Need Assistance” in Section 9.

WARNING!

• Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more

severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work
with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In
some collisions, the airbags won’t deploy at all.
Always wear your seat belts even though you have
airbags.

• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument

panel during airbag deployment could cause seri-
ous injury, including death. Airbags need room to
inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms
to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.

• The side curtain airbags need room to inflate. Do

not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in
the center of the seat.
