†Airbags can cause serious injury or death to anyone too close to an airbag when it deploys. To decrease the risk of injury from a deploying airbag, all occupants must be properly restrained and seated well back, upright, and in the middle of the seat. Do not lean against the door. Always place children 12 and under in the rear seat and use appropriate child restraint. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat. See your owner's manual and instructions provided with your child restraint for more information.
