Chrysler 2005 Town and Country manual Things to Know Before Starting Your Vehicle

Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag.

1.Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat.

Infants in rear facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag. An airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to infants in that position.

Children that are not big enough to properly wear the vehicle seat belt (refer to section on Child Restraint) should be secured in the rear seat, in a child restraint or belt-positioning booster seat. Older children who do not use child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat, and in the outboard seat if possible. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 57

If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the front
passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the
seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child	2
restraint. See the section on Child Restraint.

You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly.

2.All occupants should wear their lap and shoulder belts properly.

3.The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate.

4.If your vehicle has window bags, do not lean against the door, airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door.
