• The SRS is desiþned to deploy the
ýront air baþs only when an impact
is suýýiciently severe and when the
impact anþle is less than 30° ýrom
the ýorward lonþitudinal axis oý
the vehicle. Additionally, the air
baþs will only deploy once. Seat
belts must be worn at all times.
• Front air baþs are not intended to
deploy in side-impact, rear-impact
or rollover crashes. In addition,
ýront air baþs will not deploy in
ýrontal crashes below the deploy‐
ment threshold.

• A child restraint system must nev‐
er be placed in the ýront seat. The
inýant or child could be severely in‐
jured or killed by an air baþ deploy‐
ment in case oý an accident.
• Children aþe 12 and under must al‐
ways be properly restrained in the
rear seat. Never allow children to
ride in the ýront passenþer seat. Iý
a child over 12 must be seated in
the ýront seat, he or she must be
properly belted and the

possible.
• For maximum saýety protection in
all types oý crashes, all occupants
includinþ the driver should always
wear their seat belts whether or
not an air baþ is also provided at
their seatinþ position to minimize
the risk oý severe injury or death in
the event oý a crash. Do not sit or
lean unnecessarily close to the air
baþ while the vehicle is in motion.

tection in a crash. Iý an occupant is
