Here are some simple steps you can follow to minimize
the risk of harm from a deploying airbag.
•
Children 12 years and under should ride buckled up in
a rear seat, if available.
•
Infants in rear facing child restraints must NEVER
ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front
airbag unless the airbag is turned off (Standard Cab
Vehicles Only). An airbag deployment can cause se-
vere injury or death to infants in that position. See the
Passenger Airbag On/Off Switch section.
•
If your vehicle does not have a rear seat, see the
Passenger Airbag On/Off Switch section.
•
Children that are not big enough to properly wear the
vehicle seat belt (see section on Child Restraints)
should be secured in the rear seat in child restraints or
belt-positioning booster seats. Older children who do
not use child restraints or belt-positioning booster
seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat.
Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind
them or under their arm.
•
All occupants should use their seat belts properly.
•
The driver and front passenger seats should be moved
back as far as practical to allow the airbag room to
inflate.
