50 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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. 4. All occupants should use their lap and shoulder belts properly. 5. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the airbag room to inflate. 6. If your vehicle has window bags, do not lean against the door or window, airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door. 7. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center. Phone numbers are provided in the ЉIf You Need Customer AssistanceЉ section later in this owner's manual. WARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the airbags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags. • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during airbag deployment could cause serious injury. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel. • If the vehicle has window bags, they also need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
