The most important things you need
to know about your airbags are:
Airbags do not replace seat belts.
●
They are designed to supplement
the seat belts.
Airbags offer no protection in rear
●
impacts, or minor frontal or side
collisions.
Airbags can pose serious hazards.
●
To do their job, airbags must
inflate with tremendous force. So
while airbags help save lives, they
can cause minor injuries or more
serious or even fatal injuries if
occupants are not properly
restrained or sitting properly.
Always wear
What you should do:
your seat belt properly, and sit
upright and as far back from the
steering wheel as possible while
allowing full control of the vehicle. A
front passenger should move their
seat as far back from the dashboard
as possible.
