Passenger Air Bag

It is important for front seat passengers’
safety that they remain properly seated
whenever the vehicle is moving. This
means that small children should be
secured in appropriate child safety seats.
All other occupants should sit upright,
with their backs against the seatback, and
restrained by lap and shoulder belts. No
passenger should sit toward the front
edge of the seat, or stand or lean near the
air bag cover (which is near the glove
box).
