A
CAUTION:
Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the
blink
of
an eye.
If
you’re too 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 back as possible
while
still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
A
CAUTION:
Children who are up against, or very close to, an
air bag when it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. Air bags plus lap-shoulder belts offer
the best protection for adults and older children,
but not for young children and infants. Neither

CAUTION: (Continued)
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 “Children” and see the
caution labels
on
the sunvisors and the right front
passenger’s safety belt.
There is an
air
bag
readiness light on the
instrument panel, which
shows
AlR
BAG.
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” in
the
Index
for more information.
