Passengers should not place
hard or sharp objects between
themselves and the air bags.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on
your laps or in your mouth may
result in injury, when an air bag
inflates.
•
Keep occupants away from the
air bag covers.
All occupants
should sit upright, fully back in their
seats with their seat belts fastened
and their feet rested on the floor.
When occupants are too close to
the air bag, they may be injured by
an inflating air bag.
•
Do not attach or place objects
on or near the air bag covers.
Any object attached to or placed
on the front air bag covers may
interfere with the proper operation
of the air bags.
•
Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats may
interfere with the sensing operation
of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem.
•
Do not place items under the
front seats.
Placing items under
the front seats may interfere with
the sensing operation of the sup-
plemental restraint system and
wiring harnesses.
•
Never hold an infant or child on
your laps.
The infant or child may
be seriously injured or killed in the
event of a crash. All infants and
children should be properly
restrained in appropriate child
safety seats or seat belts in a rear
seat.
•
Sitting improperly or out of
position may cause occu-
pants to be shifted too close
to a deploying air bag, strike
the interior structure or be
thrown out of the vehicle,
resulting in serious injury or
death.
•
Always sit upright with the
seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centered on the seat
cushion with your seat belt
on, legs comfortably extended
and feet rested on the floor.
