Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver , even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and cause a collision that includes you. This can happen far away from home or on your own str eet. Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injurie[...]

W ARNING! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse. Y ou might suffer internal injuries[...]

2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the fr ont seat, next to your arm. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt.

W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well. In a sudden stop you could move too far forward, increasing [...]

W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well. In a collision it could even cut into you. Be sure the [...]

If the vehicle is equipped with side airbags, they are located inside the driver and front passenger seats, and their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG. W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect[...]

Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with seat belts and pretensioners, fr ont airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to pr ovide improved protection for the driver and fr ont passenger . Side airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant pr otection. The seat belts are designed to pr otect you in many type[...]

2. All occupants should wear their lap and shoulder belts properly . 3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate. 4.

How The Airbag System W orks • The front airbag control module determines if a fr ontal impact is severe enough to r equire the airbags to inflate. The front contr ol module will not detect side, roll over , or rear collisions. The front airbag contr ol module also monitors the readiness of the electr onic parts of the system when- ever the ignit[...]

• When the front airbag contr ol module detects a colli- sion requiring the fr ont airbags, it signals the inflator units. A lar ge quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the front airbags. The fr ont airbag covers sepa- rate and fold out of the way as the front airbags inflate to their full size. The front airbags fully inflate in abou[...]

If A Deployment Occurs The airbag systems are designed to deploy when the airbag control modules detect a moderate-to-sever e col- lision, to help restrain the driver and fr ont passenger , and then immediately deflate. NOTE: A collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system. This does not mean something i[...]

W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags and seat belt pretensioners replaced by an autho- rized dealer as soon as possible. Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injur[...]

Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately . • The AIRBAG light does not come on or flickers during the 6 to 8 seconds when the ignition swit[...]

W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper [...]

• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a fr ont passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position. • Children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forwar d-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and[...]

W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint. • A rearward facing child restraint should only be used in a rear seat. A rearward f[...]

If the seat belt has a switchable retractor , it will have a distinctive label. • In the rear seat, you may have tr ouble tightening the lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because the buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short buckle end of the[...]

Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren (LA TCH) Y our vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor - age system called LA TCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren. The LA TCH system provides for the installation of the child r estraint without using the vehicle seat belt. All three rear seating positions have lower anchor[...]

Child restraints systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the top tether anchorage have been available for some time. In fact, many child restraint manufactur ers will provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their older products. [...]

Not all child restraint systems will be installed as we have described here. Again, carefully follow the instruc- tions that come with the child restraint system. NOTE: If your child restraint seat is not LA TCH com- patible, install the restraint using the vehicle seat belts. W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased h[...]

• Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back. T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could h[...]
