WARNING!

(Continued)

Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument

panel during Advanced Front Air Bag deployment

could cause serious injury, including death. Air

Bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably

extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or

instrument panel.

Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain

(SABIC) — if equipped and Seat-Mounted Side Air

Bags (SAB) also need room to inflate. Do not lean

against the door or window. Sit upright in the

center of the seat.

In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer

much greater injuries if you are not properly buck-

led up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or

other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the

vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your

vehicle are buckled up properly.

WARNING!

(Continued)

Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag

Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) — if equipped and/or
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag (SAB) during deploy-
ment could cause you to be severely injured or
killed.

Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver, even

on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver

and cause a collision that includes you. This can happen

far away from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they

can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some

of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown

from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of

ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the

inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should

be belted at all times.
