Supplementary Restraints System
While the system is designed to help
reduce serious injuries, contact with a
deploying airbag may also cause abrasions
or swelling. Temporary hearing loss is also
a possibility as a result of the noise
associated with a deploying airbag.
Because airbags must inflate rapidly and
with considerable force, there is the risk of
death or serious injuries such as fractures,
facial and eye injuries or internal injuries,
particularly to occupants who are not
properly restrained or are otherwise out of
position at the time of airbag deployment.
Thus, it is extremely important that

WARNING: Airbags can kill or
injure a child in a child restraint. Never
place a rear-facing child restraint in front

forward-facing child restraint in the front
seat, move the seat upon which the child
restraint is installed all the way back.

Move your seat to the rear as far as you
can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.

Recline the seat slightly (one or two
degrees) from the upright position.
