The Importance of Being Properly Seated
*
[SR15550(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
If a passenger is not properly seated and restrained, an
inflating air bag could cause serious injury.
*
[SR15600(ALL)05/95]
In a collision, the air bag must inflate extremely fast to help
provide additional protection for you. In order to do this, the
air bag must inflate with considerable force. If you are not
seated in a normal riding position with your back against the
seatback, the air bag may not protect you properly and could
possibly hurt you as it inflates.
*
[SR16050(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Rear-facing infant seats should never be placed in the
front seat.
*
[SR16100(ALL)06/95]
In rear-facing infant seats, the infant's head is closer to the air
bag. The force of the rapidly inflating air bag could push the
top of the rear-facing seat against the vehicle seatback or center
armrests (if so equipped), or center console (if so equipped).
REAR-FACING INFANT CARRIERS MUST ALWAYS BE
SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT, and other child safety seats
and infant seats should be secured in the rear seat whenever
possible.
*
[SR16250(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
When using forward-facing child seats move the
passenger seat as far back from the instrument panel as
possible. NEVER SECURE REAR-FACING INFANT
SEATS IN THE FRONT SEAT.
