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:
I-
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
called “Children” and the caution label on the
right front passenger’s safety belt.
AIR
BAG
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.
