Small Children

Placing a forward-facing child

seat in the front seat of a vehicle

equipped with a passenger's

airbag can be hazardous. If the

vehicle seat is too far forward, or

the child's head is thrown forward

during a collision, an inflating

airbag can strike the child with

enough force to kill or very

seriously injure a small child.

Larger Children

Children who have outgrown

child seats are also at risk of

being injured or killed by an

inflating passenger's airbag.

Whenever possible, larger

children should sit in the back

seat, properly restrained with a

seat belt. (See page

34

for

important information about

protecting larger children.)

To remind you of the passenger's

airbag hazards, and that children

must be properly restrained in the

back seat, your vehicle has

warning labels on the dashboard,

and on the driver's and front

passenger's visors. Please read

and follow the instructions on

these labels.

If You Must Drive With

Several Children

Your vehicle has three seating

positions in the back seat where

children can be properly

restrained.
If you ever have to carry more

than three children in your

vehicle:

Place the largest child in the

front seat, provided the child is

large enough to wear a seat belt

properly (see page

34

).

Move the vehicle seat as far to

the rear as possible (see page

10

).

Have the child sit upright and

well back in the seat (see page

16

).

Make sure the seat belt is

properly positioned and

secured (see page

13

).
