WARNING

•

The seat belts, the side air bags and

curtain air bags are most effective

when you are sitting well back and

upright in the seat with both feet on

the floor. The side air bag and curtain

air bag inflate with great force. Do not

allow anyone to place their hand, leg

or face near the side air bag on the

side of the seatback of the front and

rear seat or near the side roof rails.

Do not allow anyone sitting in the

front seats or rear outboard seats to

extend their hand out of the window

seat. If the side air bag inflates, you

may be seriously injured. Be espe-

cially careful with children, who

should always be properly re-

strained. Some examples of danger-

ous riding positions are shown in the

illustrations.

•

Do not use seat covers on the front or

rear seatbacks. They may interfere

with side air bag inflation.

The knee air bag helps to cushion the im-

cause abrasions or other injuries. The knee

air bag provides restraint to the lower body.
