• Children age 13 and under must al‐
ways
be properly restrained in the
rear seat. If a child over 13 must
be seated in the front seat, he or
she must be properly belted and
the seat should be moved as far
back as possible.
• For maximum safety protection in
all
types of crashes, all occupants
including the driver should always
wear their seat belts whether or
not an air bag is also provided at
their seating position to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash.
Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bag while the vehi‐
cle is in motion.

• Sitting improperly or out of posi‐
tion
can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash.
All occupants should sit upright
with the seat back in an upright
position, centered on the seat
cushion with their seat belt on,
legs comfortably extended and
their feet on the floor until the ve‐
hicle is parked and the ignition key
is removed.
• The SRS air bag system must de‐
ploy
very rapidly to provide pro‐
tection in a crash. If an occupant is
out of position because of not
wearing a seat belt, the air bag
may forcefully contact the occu‐
pant causing serious or fatal inju‐
ries.
Passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch
The passenger’s front air bag can be
deactivated
by the passenger’s front
air bag ON/OFF switch if a child re‐
straint is installed on the front pas‐
senger's seat or if the front passeng‐
er's seat is unoccupied by a person.
To ensure the safety of your child, the
passenger’s front air bag must be de‐
activated when it should be necessary
to install a rearward facing child seat
on the front passenger seat in excep‐
tional circumstances.
