CAUTION: (Continued)
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
crashes. And, for unrestrained occupants, frontal
air bags may provide less protection in frontal
crashes than more forceful air bags have
provided in the past. 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
