This vehicle is equipped with an Advanced Supplemental Restraint System for the driver's seat and front passenger seat.

The front airbags are designed to supplement the three-point seat belts. For these airbags to provide protection, seat belts must be worn at all times while driving.

You can be seriously injured or killed in an accident if you do not wear a seat belt. Airbags are designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them. Also, airbags are not designed to deploy in every collision. In some accidents, seat belts are the only restraint protecting you.

WARNING

SRS AIRBAG PRECAUTIONS

ALWAYS use seat belts and child restraints - on every trip, every time, every one! Even with airbags, you can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if you are improperly restrained or not wearing a seat belt when the airbag inflates.

NEVER place a child in a child restraint or booster seat in the front passenger seat. An inflating airbag can strike a infant or child with great force, causing serious or fatal injury.

ABC - Always secure children under 13 years old in the rear seat. The rear seat is the safest place for children of any age. If a child aged 13 or older must sit in the front seat, he or she must be properly restrained and the seat must be moved as far back as possible.

All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in the upright position, in the center of the seat cushion with the seat belt fastened, legs comfortably extended and feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked and turned off. If an occupant loses their position during a crash, the rapidly deploying airbag may strike the occupant with force, causing serious or fatal injury.

You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbags, or lean against the door or center console. Move the seat as far as possible from the front airbags without losing control of the vehicle. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.
