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. This is true even
if
your vehicle has
reduced-force frontal
air
bags. 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

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 AIR
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.
