• All seat belt systems (except the driver’s and second

row center) include Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALRs), which lock the seat belt webbing into position

Please pay close attention to the information in this
section. It tells you how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your passengers as safe as
possible.

If you will be carrying children too small for adult-sized
seat belts, the seat belts or the Lower Anchors and Tether
for CHildren (LATCH) feature also can be used to hold
infant and child restraint systems. For more information
on LATCH, refer to Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren (LATCH).

NOTE:

The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multistage

inflator design. This allows the air bag to have different
rates of inflation based on several factors, including 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!

• Never place a rear facing infant seat in front of an

air bag. A deploying Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag can cause death or serious injury to a child 12
years or younger, including a child in a rearward
facing infant seat.

• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a

vehicle with a rear seat.
