Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
Before hanging clothing on the coat
hooks, make sure there are no sharp
objects in the pockets. Hang clothing directly on the coat hooks without using hangers.
WARNING
WARNING
Do not put any kind of cover or
clothes or other objects over either
front seatback/seat cushion and do
not attach labels or stickers to the
front seat surface on or near the
SRS side airbag/SRS seat cushion
airbag. They could prevent proper
deployment of the SRS side airbag/
SRS seat cushion airbag, reducing
protection available to the front
seat’s occupant.
Put children in the rear seat properly
restrained at all times. The SRS
airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or
even kill children, especially if they
are not restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults, their
risk of being injured from deployment is greater.
Consequently, we strongly recommend that ALL children (including
those in child seats and those that
have outgrown child restraint devices) sit in the REAR seat properly
restrained at all times in a child
restraint device or in a seatbelt,
1-45
whichever is appropriate for the
child’s age, height and weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint
devices (including forward facing
child seats) in the REAR seats at
all times.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.
For instructions and precautions
concerning the child restraint system, refer to “Child restraint systems” F1-27.
