

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 in

fl

ation 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 front 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.

CAUTION

A seat belt or child-restraint system can

become very hot in a closed vehicle

during warm weather. To avoid burning

yourself or a child, check them before

you or your child touches them.
