not use child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats

should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat of a

vehicle with a rear seat.

4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind

them or under their arm.

5. You should read the instructions provided with your

child restraint to make sure that you are using it

properly.

6. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoul-

der belts properly.

7. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved

back as far as practical to allow the front air bags room

to inflate.

8. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehicle

has side air bags, and deployment occurs, the side air

bags will inflate forcefully into the space between occu-

pants and the door and occupants could be injured.

9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be modified

to accommodate a disabled person, refer to the “Cus-

tomer Assistance” section for customer service contact

information.

WARNING!

Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an
air bag. A deploying passenger front air bag can
cause death or serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing child
restraint.

Only use a rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat
of a vehicle with a rear seat.

Seat Belt Systems

Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver, even on

short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and

could cause a collision that includes you. This can happen

far away from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can

reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the

worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the

vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the

risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle.

Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times.
