Seat belt precautions
WARNING
All occupants of the vehicle must
wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraints re‐
duce the risk of serious or fatal inju‐
ries for all occupants in the event of
a collision or sudden stop. Without a
seat belt, occupants could be shifted
too close to a deploying air bag,
strike the interior structure or be
thrown from the vehicle. Properly
worn seat belts greatly reduce these
hazards.
Always follow the precautions about
seat belts, air bags and occupant
seating contained in this manual.
Infant or small child
You should be aware of the specific re‐
quirements in your country. Child
and/or infant seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat.
For more information about the use of
these restraints, refer to Child re‐
straint system on page 3-31.
