The Importance of Being Properly Seated

In a collision, the air bag must inflate extremely fast to help
provide additional protection for you. In order to do this, the
air bag must inflate with considerable force. If you are not
seated in a normal riding position with your back against the
seatback, the air bag may not protect you properly and could
possibly hurt you as it inflates.
Important Information About the Right Front Passenger
Air Bag (If equipped)
It is important for the front seat passengers' safety that they
remain properly seated whenever the vehicle is moving. This
means that small children should be secured in appropriate
child safety seats or infant seats, and all other occupants should
sit upright, with their backs against the seatback, and restrained
by lap and shoulder belts. No passenger should sit toward the
front edge of the seat, or stand or lean near the air bag cover
(which is near the glove box).
Rear-facing infant seats should not be placed in the front
seat unless the passenger air bag deactivate switch is
turned to OFF. In rear-facing infant seats, the infant's
head is closer to the passenger air bag. The force of the
rapidly inflating air bag could push the top of the
rear-facing seat against the vehicle seatback. Turning the
passenger air bag deactivate switch to OFF will prevent
the passenger air bag from deploying, avoiding any
interaction between the passenger air bag and the
rear-facing infant seat.
