Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the
blink of an eye. If you’re e00 close to an inflating
air bag, 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 bark as possible
while still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
An inflating
air bag can seriously injure small
children. Always secure children properly
in your
vehicle.
To read how, see the part of this manual
callled “Children” and the caution label on the
right front passenger’s safety belt.
