RWARNING
If a passenger is not properly seated
and restrained, an inflating air bag
could cause serious injury.
*
[SR16100(ALL)11/94]
RWARNING
Rear-facing infant seats should never
be placed in the front seat.
*
[SR16200(ALL)03/95]
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.

RWARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with a right
front passenger air bag. Front
passengers, especially children and
small adults, should never sit on the
edge of the seat, stand near the glove
compartment of the instrument panel,
or lean over with their faces near the
glove compartment when the vehicle
is moving. All occupants should sit
with their backs against the seatback
and use the safety belts. Children
weighing less than 40 lbs. (18 kg)
should use child or infant seats.
Forward-facing child seats must have
the passenger seat moved as far back
from the instrument panel as
possible. REAR-FACING INFANT
SEATS SHOULD NEVER BE USED
IN THE FRONT SEAT, BECAUSE
THE FORCE OF THE RAPIDLY
INFLATING PASSENGER AIR BAG
COULD PUSH THE TOP OF THE
REAR-FACING SEAT AGAINST
THE VEHICLE SEATBACK, CENTER
ARMRESTS OR CONSOLE (IF SO
EQUIPPED). REAR-FACING
INFANT SEATS MUST ALWAYS BE
PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT.

[SR22100(ALL)01/95]
Use a safety seat that is recommended for the
size and weight of the child. Always follow the
safety seat manufacturer's instructions when
installing and using the safety seat.

having a top tether strap. Install the child safety
seat in a seating position which is capable of
providing a tether anchorage. For more
information on top tether straps seeAttaching

*
[SR22150(ALL)02/95]
When installing a child safety seat, be sure to
use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating
position, and make sure the tongue is securely
fastened in the buckle.
