Overview
This section of the manual, along with
others, contains crucial safety
guidelines. Please pay special
attention to the following
precautions:
a. Always use your seat belt
It provides the best protection in
any type of accident. Airbags are
designed to complement seat
belts, not to replace them.
Therefore, even though your
vehicle has airbags, ALWAYS
ensure that you and your
passengers wear your seat belts
and wear them correctly.
b. Secure all children
All children under the age of 13
should ride in the back seat of your
vehicle, properly restrained.
Infants and small children should
be secured in an appropriate Child
Restraint System. Older children
should use a booster seat with a
lap/shoulder belt until they can
safely use the seat belt alone,
without the booster seat.
WARNING
!
Do not use a cushion that reduces
friction between the seat and the
passenger. The passenger's hips
may slide under the lap portion of
the seat belt during an accident or
a sudden stop. Serious or fatal
internal injuries could result
because the seat belt cannot
operate properly.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
c. Safety precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you
are sitting in a safe and
comfortable position plays an
important role for the safety of
the driver and passengers, as
much as seat belts and air bags
when in an accident.
d. Airbag risks
Though airbags can be life-saving,
they can also cause serious or
fatal injuries to those who are too
close or not properly restrained.
Infants, young children, and
shorter adults are especially at
risk. Adhere to all instructions
and warnings provided in this
manual regarding airbags.

CAUTION
Adjusting the seats so that you are
sitting in a safe and comfortable
position plays an important role for
the safety of the driver and
passengers, as much as seat belts
and air bags when in an accident.
