A rear passenger or luggage pushing
or pulling down on the front
passenger seatback.

restraint.



The seat is washed.



Liquids are spilled on the seat.

The front passenger seat is moved
backward, pushing into luggage or
other items placed behind it.



The front passenger seatback
contacts the rear seat.



Luggage or other items are placed
between the front passenger seat
and driver seat.



An electric device is put on the front
passenger's seat.



An additional electrical device, such
as a seat warmer is installed to the
surface of the front passenger seat.



Any accessories, which might
increase the total seated weight on
the front passenger seat, are
attached to the front passenger seat.

The designated positions with seat
belts on the rear seats are the safest
places for children. Always use seat
belts and child restraints.

Do not allow a child or anyone to
lean over to or against the side
window of a vehicle with side and
curtain air bags:

It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean
over to or against the side window, the
area of the front passenger seat, the
front and rear window pillars and the
roof edge along both sides from which
the side and curtain air bags deploy,
even if a child-restraint system is used.
The impact of inflation from a side or
curtain air bag could cause serious
injury or death to an out of position
child. Furthermore, leaning over to or
against the door could block the side
and curtain air bags and eliminate the
advantages of supplemental
protection. Because the front seats are
equipped with front air bags, the rear
seat is always a better location for
children. Take special care not to allow
a child to lean over to or against the
side window, even if the child is seated
in a child-restraint system.

Never use one seat belt on more than
one person at a time:

Using one seat belt for more than one
person at a time is dangerous. A seat
belt used in this way cannot spread the
impact forces properly and the two
passengers could be crushed together
and seriously injured or even killed.
Never use one belt for more than one
person at a time and always operate
the vehicle with each occupant
properly restrained.
