. Do not put objects under the front seats . They may interfere with front seat locking mechanism and cause an accident .
. Seatbelts provide maximum restraint when the occupant sits back and upright in the seat .

. The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force . Occupants who are not seated in the proper upright position when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer very serious injury . Because the SRS airbag needs enough space for deployment , the driver should always sit upright and well back in the seat as far from the steering wheel as practical while still maintaining full vehicle control , and the front passenger should move the seat as far back as possible and sit upright and well back in the seat .
