ION:
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if'
you aren't wearing your safety belt
--
even if you
have
an air
bag. Wearing your safety belt during a
crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things
inside the
vehicle or being ejected from it. The air
bag is only a~"supp1ernenta) restraint?
that^
is,
it
works with safety belts but doesn't replace them.
Air bags are designed to work
only
in moderate
to
severe
crash-
where
the
front of your
vehicle
hits
something. They aren't designed to inflate
at
all in
rolloveq rear, side or low-speed frontal crashes.
Everyone i n your vehicle, including the driver,
should wear a safety belt properly
--
whether or
not there's an air bag for that person.

A
CAUTXON:
Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the
blink of an eye. If you're
too
close to an inflating
air bag, it could seriously injure you. Safety belts
help keep you in position for an air bag inflation
in a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even
with an air bag. The driver should sit as far back
as possible while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
I
An inflating air bag can seriously injure small
children. Always secure children properly in your
vehicle. To read how, see the part of
this
manual
called "Children" and
the caution label on
the
right front passenger's safety belt.
