If your vehicle does not have a right front passenger
seat, the frontal passenger airbag is disabled.
The frontal passenger airbag is still in the vehicle,
but it should not deploy in a crash. Even if the
airbag is disabled, do not place cargo in front of this
or any airbag.
{CAUTION:
Be sure that cargo is not near an airbag.
In a crash, an inflating airbag might force
that object toward a person. This could
cause severe injury or even death. Secure
objects away from the area in which an
airbag would inflate. For more information,
see Where Are the Airbags? on page 1-58
and Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-35.
Airbags are designed to supplement the protection
provided by safety belts. Even though today’s airbags
are also designed to help reduce the risk of injury
from the force of an inflating bag, all airbags must
inflate very quickly to do their job.
Here are the most important things to know about the
airbag system:
{CAUTION:
You can be severely injured or killed in
a crash if you are not wearing your safety
belt — even if you have airbags. Wearing
your safety belt during a crash helps reduce
your chance of hitting things inside the
vehicle or being ejected from it. Airbags are
“supplemental restraints” to the safety belts.
All airbags are designed to work with safety
belts, but do not replace them.
