• If the driver brakes the vehicle
heavily in an urgent situa-
tions, occupants will be
thrown forward. If front pas-
sengers are not wearing the
safety belts, they will be
directly in front of the storage
compartment when inflation
occurs. In that situation, seri-
ous injury or death is possi-
ble.
• Never allow front passenger
to put their hands or feet on
the instrument panel or put
their face close to the instru-
ment panel. The airbag will
impact the front passenger
when it inflates.

• Never allow children/old
and feeble persons/pregnant
women to sit on the front pas-
senger’s seat. Do not put child
restraint systems on the front
passenger’s seat either. They
may be seriously injured by
the airbag inflation when
airbag deploys.
• Do not put objects or stickers
on the instrument panel. Do
not apply any accessory on
the front windshield glass or
do not i
nstall aftermarket mir-
rors or accessories on the fac-
tory installed rearview mirror.
These may interfere with the
deployment of airbag inflation
or could hit your body at high
speed and cause severe bodi-
ly injury and even death.
WARNING
• The front seat passenger’s
airbag is much larger than the
steering wheel airbag and
inflates with considerably
more force. It can seriously
hurt or kill a passenger who is
not in the proper position and
wearing the safety belt proper-
ly. The front passengers
should always move their seat
as far back as practical and sit
back in their seat.
• It is essential that the front
passengers always wear their
safety belt
s, even when the
vehicle is moving in a parking
lot or up a driveway into
garage.
