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 passengers 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 the rear seat of a vehicle with a rear
seat.
Warning Label On Front Passenger Sun Visor
2. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehicle seat
belt properly must be secured in the appropriate child
restraint or belt-positioning booster seat in a rear
seating position page 262.

3. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind
them or under their arm.
4. You should read the instructions provided with your
child restraint to make sure that you are using it
properly.
5. All occupants should always wear their lap and
shoulder belts properly.
6. The driver and front passenger seats should be
moved back as far as practical to allow the front air
bags room to inflate.
7. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehicle
has side air bags, and deployment occurs, the side air
bags will inflate forcefully into the space between
occupants and the door and occupants could be
injured.
8. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be
modified to accommodate a disabled person, see
