- make sure all passengers, even those in the back seats, are wearing seat belts. Passengers who are not wearing seat belts put themselves, the driver, and other passengers at risk in the event of an accident;
Warning! Airbags do not replace seat belts. Moreover, when the car is moving, the driver and front passenger must be fastened with seat belts, since in the event of a traffic accident, an airbag that has deployed itself can cause serious injury to a person not wearing a seat belt.

Caution: When installing a child seat on the front passenger seat, the front passenger airbag must be deactivated.
