S A F E T Y R E M I N D E RYour vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace seat belts; they add tothe protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some types ofcollisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young childrenare properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place an infantseat in the front passenger’s seat, as the force of a deploying airbag can seriouslyinjure an infant.

Failures caused by use of gasoline containingMMT may not be covered under your new vehicle warranty.TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline (recommended) never contains MMT and hasdetergent additives to keep your engine clean.
