In o rder for the airbag to offer protection, it is
important t hat all vehicle occupants, especia l-
ly any children, who must be in the front seat
because of exceptional circumstances, be
pro perly restrained and as far away from the
airbag as poss ible. By keep ing room between
the child's body and the front of the passen-
ger co mpartment, the airbag can inflate com-
pletely and provide supp lemental protection
in certa in frontal col lisions.
A WARNING

ter seat improperly, incorrect ly installing a
booster seat or using the vehicle safety
belt improperly increases the risk of seri-
ous personal injury and death in a collision

duce the risk of ser ious personal injury
and/or death:
- The shoulder be lt must lie as close to the
center of the child's collar bone as poss i-

over a child's body will cause severe inju-
ries in an accident or other emergency
situation
