Seats and Restraints
CAUTION
Both the safety belt restraint
system and the air bag restraint
system are designed to best
protect adults.
Anyone who is up against, or
very close to, an inflating air
bag could be seriously injured
or killed.
Everyone in your vehicle who
has outgrown child restraints
should wear a safety belt prop-
erly, whether or not there is an
air bag for that person.

CAUTION
(Continued)
Be sure that if children are too
small to be well restrained by
the safety belt system, that they
are secured in an appropriate
child restraint. See "Child
Restraints" later in this section.
Accident statistics show that
children are safer if they are
restrained in a child restraint
system secured in the rear seat.
It is therefore recommended that
children in child restraints and
older children who are large
enough to wear a safety belt be
secured in a rear seat position.
CAUTION
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seating position could be
seriously injured or killed if the
passenger's air bag inflates. This
is because the back of the
restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag.
Never secure a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger
seat when the passenger's air
bag system is active.
