Here are the most important things to know about the
air bag systems:
CAUTION:
{
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 are
designed to work with safety belts but don't
replace them.
Frontal air bags for the driver and right front
passenger 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 or
low-speed frontal crashes, or in many side

crashes. And, for some unrestrained
occupants, frontal air bags may provide less
protection in frontal crashes than more
forceful air bags have provided in the past.
The seat-mounted side impact air bags and
roof-mounted side impact air bags are
designed to inflate only in moderate to severe
crashes where something hits the side of your
vehicle. They aren't designed to inflate in
frontal, in rollover or in rear crashes. Everyone
in your vehicle should wear a safety belt
properly — whether or not there's an air bag
for that person.
