CAUTION
 SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
 The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
 The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:
Since the risk zone for driver airbag is the first 2 − 3 in. (50 − 75 mm) of infla−
tion, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) fr
om your driver airbag provides you
with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of
the steering wheel to your breastbone.
If you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm)
away now, you can change your driving position in several ways:
Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in.
(250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim−
ply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of
your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm,
non−slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.
If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air−
bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while still
maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the
instrument panel controls.

When driving
CAUTION
Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compart−
ment.
Receptacles containing gasoline
Aerosol cans
Storage precautions
Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the
seatbacks.
Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in the
vehicle during sudden braking or in an accident.
Do not drive with objects on top of the instrument panel.
They may interfere with the driver ’s field of view or move during sharp
acceleration or turning, thus impairing the driver ’s control of the vehi−
cle. In an accident they may injure the vehicle occupants.
Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and
injure someone during an accident or sudden braking.
Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not
designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat
belts properly fastened. Otherwise,
they are much more likely to suffer
death or serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking or a colli−
sion.
Capacity and distribution
Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle
weight rating.
Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less
than the total load capacity, do no t apply the load unevenly. Improper
loading may cause deterioration of st eering or braking control which
may cause death or serious injury.
