Here are some simple steps you can follow to minimize
the risk of harm from a deploying airbag.

1. Children 12 years and under should always ride
buckled up in a rear seat in an appropriate child restraint.

Infants in rear-facing child restraints should NEVER ride
in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag.
An airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to
infants in that position.

If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the front
passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the
seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child
restraint. See

ЉChild RestraintЉ 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 use their lap and shoulder belts
properly.

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

4. If your vehicle has window airbags, do not lean
against the door or window, 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 in the

ЉIf

Љ section later in this

owner’s manual.
