Here
are
the
most important things
to
know
about
the
air
bag system:
You
can be severely injured or killed in a crash
if
you aren’t wearing your safety belt
--
even
if you have
air
bags. Wearing your safety belt
during a crash helps reduce your chance of
hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected
from it. Air bags are “supplemental restraints”
to the safety belts. All air bags
--
even
reduced-force
air
bags
--
are designed
to
work with safety belts, but don’t replace them.
Air
bags are designed to work only in moderate to
severe crashes where the front of your vehicle hits
something. They aren’t designed to inflate at
all
in
rollover, rear, side or low-speed frontal crashes.
And, for unrestrained occupants, reduced-force
air bags may provide less protection in frontal
crashes than more forceful air bags have provided
in
the past. Everyone in your vehicle should wear
a
safety belt properly
--
whether or not there’s
an
air
bag for that person.
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. This
is
true
even with reduced-force frontal
air
bags. Safety
belts help keep you in position before and during
a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with
reduced-force air bags. The driver should sit as
far back
as
possible while still maintaining
control
of
the vehicle.
