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 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.
~
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
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.

read how,
see the parts of this manual called “Older
Children” and “Infants and Young Children”.
