CAUTION:
Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the
blink of an eye. If you’re too close to an inflating
air bag, as you would be if you were leaning
forward, it could seriously injure you. Safety
belts help keep you in position before and during
a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even
with air bags. The driver should sit as far back
as possible while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
CAUTION:
Anyone who is up against, or very close to, any air
bag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed.
Air bags plus lap
-shoulder belts offer the best
protection for adults, but not for young children and
infants. Neither the vehicle’s safety belt system nor its
air bag system is designed for them. Young children
and infants need the protection that a child restraint
system can provide. Always secure children properly
in your vehicle. To read how, see the part of this
manual called “Children.”
There is an air bag readiness
light on the instrument
panel, which shows the
air bag symbol.
The system checks the air bag electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See “Air Bag Readiness Light” in the Index
for more information.
