Additional safety precautions

Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded -
down back seat. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in
their seats with their seat belts
on and their feet on the floor.
Passengers should not move out
of or change seats whilst the
vehicle is moving. A passenger
who is not wearing a seat belt
during a crash or emergency stop
can be thrown against the inside
of the vehicle, against other occu -
pants, or out of the vehicle.
Each seat belt is designed to
restrain one occupant. If more
than one person uses the same
seat belt, they could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision.
Do not use any accessories on
seat belts. Devices claiming to
improve occupant comfort or
reposition the seat belt can
reduce the protection provided by
the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
Passengers should not place hard
or sharp objects between them -
selves and the air bags. Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap
or in your mouth can result in
injuries if an air bag inflates.
Keep occupants away from the
air bag covers. All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in
their seats with their seat belts
on and their feet on the floor. If
3 72
Air bag - supplemental restraint system
occupants are too close to the air
bag covers, they could be injured
if the air bags inflate.
Do not attach or place objects on
or near the air bag covers. Any
object attached to or placed on
the front or side air bag covers
could interfere with the proper
operation of the air bags.
Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats
could interfere with the opera -
tion of the supplemental restraint
system sensing components or
side air bags.
Do not place items under the
front seats. Placing items under
the front seats could interfere
with the operation of the supple -
mental restraint system sensing
components and wiring har -
nesses.
Never hold an infant or child on
your lap. The infant or child could
be seriously injured or killed in the
event of a crash. All infants and
children should be properly
restrained in appropriate child
safety seats or seat belts in the
rear seat.
WARNING
Sitting improperly or out of posi -
tion can cause occupants to be
shifted too close to a deploying air
bag, strike the interior structure
or be thrown from the vehicle
