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 “Older
Children” or “Infants and Young Children”.

There is a air bag
readiness light on the
instrument panel cluster,
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 on
page
3-38
for more information.
Where Are the
Air
Bags?
The driver’s frontal air bag is in the middle of the
steering wheel.
