child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats, should

their arm.

properly.

5. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved
back as far as practical to allow the airbag room to inflate.

6. If your vehicle has window bags, do not lean against
the door or window, airbags will inflate forcefully into
the space between you and the door.

7. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be
modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the

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. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back,
comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.

If the vehicle has window bags, they also need

room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or
window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
