CAUTION: (Continued)
Next Generation 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, side or
-
low
speed frontal crashes. And, for unrestrained
occupants, Next Generation air bags may provide
less protection in frontal crashes than more
forceful air bags have provided in the past. The
side impact air bags for the driver and right front
passenger 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.
1-22
CAUTION:
Both frontal and side impact air bags inflate with
great force, faster than the blink of an eye. If
you're too close to an inflating air bag, as you
would be if you were leaning forward, it could
seriously injure you. This is true even with Next
Generation frontal air bags. Safety belts help
keep you in position for air bag inflation before
and during a crash. Always wear your safety belt,
even with Next Generation frontal air bags. The
driver should sit as far back as possible while still
maintaining control of the vehicle. Front
occupants should not lean on or sleep against
the door.
