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. Everyone in your vehicle should wear
a
safety belt properly
--
whether or not there’s an
air bag for that person.
/i\
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
an
air bag, and sit as far back
as
you can while still
maintaining control
of
your vehicle.
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.
