Warning!  
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of an air bag. A deploying passenger front air bag can cause death or serious injury to a  
child 12 years or younger, including a child in a rear-facing child restraint.  
Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat of a vehicle. Only use a rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat. If the vehicle does  
not have a rear seat, do not transport a rear-facing child restraint in that vehicle.  
Children 12 years or younger should always ride buckled up in a vehicle with a rear seat.  
Warning!  
No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel or steering wheel because any such objects could cause  
harm if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.  
Do not put anything on or around the air bag covers or attempt to open them manually. You may damage the air bags and you could be  
injured because the air bags may no longer be functional. The protective covers for the air bag cushions are designed to open only when the  
air bags are inflating.  
Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly.  
In some collisions, air bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
