CAUTION
The SRS side airbag and curtain
D
shield airbag system is designed
only as a supplement to the prima-
ry protection of the driver, and
front passenger and rear outside
passenger seat belt systems. To en-
sure maximum protection in an ac-
cident, the driver and all passen-
gers in the vehicle must wear their
seat belts properly. Wearing a seat
belt properly during an accident re-
duces the chances of death or seri-
ous injury or being thrown out of
the vehicle. For instructions and
precautions concerning

It is dangerous if the SRS side air-
bag and curtain shield airbag in-
flate, and the impact of the deploy-
ing airbag could cause death or se-
rious injury to the occupant.
Improperly seated and/or restrained
D
infants and children can be killed
or seriously injured by the deploy-
the seat
ing airbags. An infant or child who
is too small to use a seat belt
should be properly secured using a
child restraint

fants and children be placed in the
rear seats of the vehicle and prop-
erly restrained. The rear seats are
the safest for infants and children.
