Your vehicle is equ ipped with a right front

stand near the glove com partm ent of the

cover when the vehicle is moving. All occupants
shou ld sit with their backs against the seatback,
move the seat to the most rearw ard position if
possible and use the safety belts. Child ren
weighing less than 40 lbs. (18 kg) alw ays shou ld
use child or infant seats.
