The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy-
ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi-
sion.
CAUTION
l
Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflating
airbags can result in abrasions, bruises, and
the like.
WARNING
l
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to
the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed or
seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great
force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air-
bags may not protect you properly, and
could cause serious or fatal injuries when
it inflates.
l
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or sit
with your lower legs too close to the in-
strument panel, or lean head or chest
close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Do not put feet or legs on or against
the instrument panel.
WARNING
l
Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants
and children.
WARNING
l
Infants and small children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-
strument panel or be held in your arms or
on your lap. They could be seriously in-
jured or killed in a collision, including
when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in the rear seat in an ap-
propriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section of this owner’s
manual.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air-
bag ON-OFF switch (if so equipped). (Refer
to “To turn an airbag off” on page 4-28)
