! CAUTION S The SRS airbag system is designed only as a supplement to the primary protection of the driver side aseat belt systems. The driver is particularly susceptible to death or serious injury if they does not wear their seat belt; when sudden braking or a collision occurs, they may be thrown forward. To obtain a maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle should always wear their seat belts when driving because serious injuries can result to unrestrained occupants. For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, see "Seat belts" in this chapter. S A baby or small child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured in a rear seat using a child restraint system. S Never use a rear-facing child restraint system in the front seat because the force of the rapid inflation of the passenger airbag can cause severe injury to the child. Vehicles with a passenger airbag display a caution label on the passenger side instrument panel as shown above to remind you not to install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front seat at any time. S If you must use a forward-facing child restraint system in the front seat, the seat must be moved as far back as possible. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restratint system, see "Child restraint" in this chapter. 32
