{CAUTION:

Both frontal and side impact airbags inﬂate

with great force, faster than the blink of an

eye. If you are too close to an inﬂating airbag,

as you would be if you were leaning forward, it

could seriously injure you. Safety belts help

keep you in position for airbag inﬂation before

and during a crash. Always wear your safety

belt even with frontal 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.

{CAUTION:

Anyone who is up against, or very close to,

any airbag when it inﬂates can be seriously

injured or killed. Airbags plus lap-shoulder

belts offer the best protection for adults, but

CAUTION: (Continued)

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 1-32 or Infants and

Young Children on page 1-35.

There is an airbag

readiness light on the

instrument panel, 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 3-58

for more information.
