Seats and Restraints
CAUTION
(Continued)
It is therefore recommended
that child restraints be secured
in a rear seat position even if the
front passenger's air bag is
turned off.
In fact, because the risk to a
rear-facing child is so great if
the air bag deploys, there is a
label on your vehicle's sun visor
that cautions you never to put a
rear-facing child seat in the
front.

CAUTION
Frontal air bags are not
designed to inflate at all in
rollovers, rear collisions, or in
many side crashes.
Seat-mounted side-impact air
bags are not designed to inflate
in rollovers, or in rear, frontal or
near frontal crashes.
Roof-mounted rollover air bags
are designed to inflate when
either side of the vehicle is
struck during a side collision,
severe frontal impact or a
vehicle rollover. They are not
designed to inflate in a rear
collision.
CAUTION
Do not attach anything to the
area from where the air bag
inflates.
If something is between an
occupant and an air bag, the air
bag might not inflate properly
or it might force the object into
the occupant, causing severe
injury or even death.
The path of an inflating air bag
must be kept clear of any
objects at all times.
