Important Safety Precautions
Please pay close attention to the information in
this section. It tells you how to use your restraint
system properly, to keep you and your passen-
gers as safe as possible.
Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air
bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should
always ride buckled up in a vehicle with a
rear seat.
2. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a
rear-facing child restraint) must ride in the
front passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible and use the proper child
restraint (refer to "Child Restraints" in this
section for further information).
3. Children that are not big enough to wear the
vehicle seat belt properly (refer to "Child
Restraints" in this section for further infor-
mation) should be secured in a vehicle with
a rear seat in child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats. Older children
who do not use child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats should ride prop-
erly buckled up in a vehicle with a rear seat.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder
belt behind them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided
with your child restraint to make sure that
you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap
and shoulder belts properly.
