WARNING
(1) The side air bags are designed to
supplement the driver and front
passenger seat belts in certain
side impacts. Seat belts should
always be worn properly, and the
driver and front passenger
should sit well back and upright
without leaning against the win-
dow or door.

WARNING
(2) The side air bag inflates with
great force. The driver and front
passenger should not put their
arms out the window and should
not lean against the door, in order
to reduce risk of serious or poss-
ible fatal injury from a deploying
side air bag.
(3) Do not allow any rear seat occu-
pant to hold onto the seatback of
either front seat, in order to re-
duce risk of injury from a deploy-
ing side air bag. Special care
should be taken with children.
SEATS AND SEATBELTS
WARNING
(4) Do not place any objects near or
in front of the seatback of either
front seat. They could interfere
with proper side air bag inflation
and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side air bag de-
ployment.
(5) Do not place stickers, labels or
additional trim on the seatback of
either front seat. They could inter-
fere with proper side air bag infla-
tion.
(6) Do not install seat covers on
seats with side air bags. Do not
re-cover the seats with side air
bags. They could interfere with
proper side air bag inflation.
