●
The seat belts, the side air bags and curtain
air bags are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the seat. The
side air bag and curtain air bag inflate with
great force. Do not allow anyone to place
their hand, leg or face near the side air bag
on the side of the seatback of the front seat
or near the side roof rails. Do not allow any-
one sitting in the front seats or rear outboard
seats to extend their hand out of the window
or lean against the door. Some examples of
dangerous riding positions are shown in the
previous illustrations.
●
When sitting in the rear seat, do not hold
onto the seatback of the front seat. If the
supplemental side air bag inflates, you may
be seriously injured. Be especially careful
with children, who should always be prop-
erly restrained. Some examples of danger-
ous riding positions are shown in the
illustrations.
●
Do not use seat covers on the front seat-
backs. They may interfere with supplemen-
tal side air bag inflation.
