{CAUTION:

Both frontal and side impact 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 for air bag inﬂation before

and during a crash. Always wear your safety

belt, even with frontal air bags. The driver

should sit as far back as possible while still

maintaining control of the vehicle. Front

occupants should not lean on or sleep against

the door.

{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

CAUTION: (Continued)

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 an 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 3-37

for more information.
