The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After airbag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder (to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (e.g., baking soda) that result from the combustion process that inflates the airbag. Small amo[...]

W ARNING: All occupants of the vehicle should always wear their safety belts even when an airbag SRS is provided. How does the side airbag system work? The design and development of the side airbag system included recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag T echnical W orking [...]

The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather , it means the forces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Side airbags are designed to inflate in side-impact collisions, not roll-over , rear -impact, frontal or near -frontal collisions, unless the collision caus[...]

W ARNING: Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a collision, which may result in serious injury or death. W ARNING: Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child. They can slide around and increase the likelihood of injury or death in a collisio[...]

If the child is the proper height, age, and weight (as specified by your child safety seat or booster manufacturer), fits the restraint and can be restrained properly , then restrain the child in the child safety seat or with the belt-positioning booster . Remember that child seats and belt-positioning boosters vary and may be designed to fit child[...]

Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder belts Check to make sure the child seat is properly secured before each use. Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position whenever possible.

LA TCH compatible child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to the two lower anchors at the LA TCH equipped seating positions in your vehicle. This type of attachment method eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach the child seat, however the safety belt can still be used to attach the child seat. For fo[...]

W ARNING: Depending on where you secure a child restraint, and depending on the child restraint design, you may block access to certain safety belt buckle assemblies and/or LA TCH lower anchors, rendering those features potentially unusable. T o avoid risk of injury , occupants should only use seating positions where they are able to be properly re[...]

Combining safety belt and LA TCH lower anchors for attaching child safety seats When used in combination, either the safety belt or the LA TCH lower anchors may be attached first, provided a proper installation is achieved.

Although the lap/shoulder belt will provide some protection, children who have outgrown a typical child seat are still too small for lap/shoulder belts to fit properly , and wearing an improperly fitted vehicle safety belt could increase the risk of serious injury in a crash. T o improve the fit of both the lap and shoulder belt on children who hav[...]

T ypes of booster seats There are generally two types of belt-positioning booster seats: backless and high back. Always use booster seats in conjunction with the vehicle lap/shoulder belt. • Backless booster seats If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield. If a vehicle seating position has a low seat back or no head [...]

Children and booster seats vary in size and shape. Choose a booster that keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and rest snugly near the center of the shoulder . The drawings below compare the ideal fit (center) to a shoulder belt uncomfortably close to [...]

Move a child to a different seating location if the shoulder belt does not stay positioned on the shoulder during use. Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the booster seat. W ARNING: Never place, or allow a child to place, the shoulder belt under a child’ s arm or behind the back because it reduces the protection for the upper[...]

INFORMA TION ABOUT UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING T ire Quality Grades apply to new pneumatic passenger car tires.
