CAUTION
A The SRS airbag system is designed only as a
supplement to the primary protection of the driver
side and front and rear outside passenger side seat
belt systems. The front and rear outside passenger
seat occupants can be killed or seriously injured by
the inflating airbags if they do not wear the available
seat belts properly. During sudden braking just
before a collision, an unrestrained driver or front
passenger or rear outside passenger can move
forward or sideways into direct contact with or close
proximity to the airbag which may then deploy during
the collision. To ensure maximum protection in an
accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle
must wear their seat belts properly. Wearing a seat
belt properly during an accident reduces the chances
of death or serious injury or being thrown out of the
vehicle. For instructions
concerning the seat belt system, see "Seat belts" on
page 128.

children can be killed or seriously injured by the
deploying airbags. An infant or child who is too small
to use a seat belt should be properly secured using
a
recommends that all infants and children be placed
in the rear seat of the vehicle and properly restrained.
The rear seat is the safest for infants and children.
For instructions concerning the installation of a child
restraint system, see "Child restraint" on page 153 .
