par icularly suscep ible o injury if hey do no wear
heir sea bel s; when sudden braking or a collision
occurs, hey may be hrown forward. To ob ain
maximum pro ec ion in an acciden , he driver and all
passengers in he vehicle should always wear heir sea
bel s when driving because serious injuries or dea h can

•Never use a rear-facing child res rain sys em in he
fron sea even if he fron passenger occupan
classifica ion indica or ligh is “OFF.” The force of he
rapid infla ion of he passenger airbag can cause severe
injury or dea h o a child.
•Unless i is unavoidable, do no ins all a forward-facing

•The SRS side and side cur ain airbags (op ional) are
designed o deploy in cer ain ypes of severe side impac
collisions. In all o her collisions, he side impac and side
cur ain airbags will no deploy. For ins ruc ions and
