SAFETY REMINDER

Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace seat belts; they add to the protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some types of collisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.

Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young children are properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place an infant seat in the front passengers seat as the force of a deploying airbag can seriously injure an infant.

See your Owners Manual for more information.

Some gasoline in North America contains MMT, a manganese-based fuel additive.
