WARNING!
•Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.The
air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly.In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all.Always wear your seat belts even though you have air
bags.
•Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death.Air bags need
room to inflate.Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering
wheel or instrument panel.
•Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags need room to inflate.Do not lean against the door or window.Sit
upright in the center of the seat.
•Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured
or killed.
•Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed.If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
•
After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
•Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if avail-
able.According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats rather than in the front.
•Every state in the United States require that small children ride in proper restraint
systems.This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
•For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEAT-CHECK
(1–866–732–8243).
