Safety features of your vehicle
Additional safety precautions
• Keep occupants away from the air
bag covers. All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor. If occupants are too close to the
air bag covers, they could be injured if
the air bags inflate.
WARNING
•
Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded-
down back seat. All occupants should
sit upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor.
• Sitting improperly or out of posi-
tion can cause occupants to be
shifted too close to a deploying air
bag, strike the interior structure or
be thrown from the vehicle result-
ing in serious injury or death.
• Always sit upright with the seat-
back in an upright position, cen-
tered on the seat cushion with your
seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and your feet on the floor.
Always have the ignition OFF
when the vehicle is being towed or
where it may otherwise be tilted,
since the side and/or curtain
airbags may inflate if the sensors
interpet those tilt angles as a
potential rollover.
• Be careful not to cause impact to
the doors when the ignition is ON.
The air bags may inflate.
•
Do not attach or place objects on or
near the air bag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or
side air bag covers could interfere with
the proper operation of the air bags.

Passengers should not move out of
or change seats while the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wear-
ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-
gency stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.
• Do not modify the front seats.
Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the sup-
plemental restraint system sensing
components or side air bags.

Each seat belt is designed to
restrain one occupant. If more than
one person uses the same seat belt,
they could be seriously injured or killed
in a collision.
Do not use any accessories on seat
belts. Devices claiming to improve
occupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection provided
by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Do not place items under the front
seats.
Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the operation
of the supplemental restraint system
sensing components and wiring har-
nesses.
• Never hold an infant or child on your
lap. The infant or child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in the event of a Adding equipment to or modifying

child safety seats or seat belts in the

your vehicle's air bag system.
