THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 67 restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag. An airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to infants in that position. Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly (see Section on Child Restraints should be secured in the rear seat in child restraints or beltpositioning booster seats). Older children who do not use child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm. If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the front passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint. Refer to the section on Child Restraints. You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly. All occupants should wear their lap and shoulder belts properly. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate. If your vehicle has side airbags, do not lean against the door. Airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center. Phone numbers are provided under If You Need Assistance in Section 9 of this manual. 2
