CAUTION
Airbags
inflate
with
great
force,
faster
than
the
blink
of
an
eye.
Anyone
who
is
up
against,
or
very
close
to,
any
airbag
when
it
inflates
can
be
seriously
injured
or
killed.
Do
not
sit
unnecessarily
close
to
the
airbag,
as
you
would
be
if
you
were
sitting
on
the
edge
of
your
seat
or
leaning
forward.
Safety
belts
help
keep
you
in
position
before
and
during
a
crash.
Always
wear
your
safety
belt,
even
with
airbags.
The
driver
should
sit
as
far
back
as
possible
while
still
maintaining
control
of
the
vehicle.
Occupants
should
not
lean
on
or
sleep
against
the
door
or
side
windows
in
seating
positions
with
seat-mounted
side
impact
airbags
and/or
roof-rail
airbags.
{
CAUTION
Children
who
are
up
against,
or
very
close
to,
any
airbag
when
it
inflates
can
be
seriously
injured
or
killed.
Airbags
plus
lap-shoulder
belts
offer
protection
for
adults
and
older
children,
but
not
for
young
children
and
infants.
Neither
the
vehicle’s
safety
belt
system
nor
its
airbag
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
Older
Children
on
page
1-27
or
Infants
and
Young
Children
on
page
1-29
.
There
is
an
airbag
readiness
light
on
the
instrument
panel
cluster,
which
shows
the
airbag
symbol.
The
system
checks
the
airbag
electrical
system
for
malfunctions.
The
light
tells
you
if
there
is
an
electrical
problem.
See
Airbag
Readiness
Light
on
page
3-33
for
more
information.
