designed to inflate in frontal, in rollover or in
rear crashes.
Everyone in your vehicle should wear a safety

Both fron.,,

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. Safety belts help
keep you in position tor air bag iniiation
before and during a crash. Always wear your
safety belt, even with frontal air bags.
CAUTION: (Continued)

Anyone who is up ag;,,,st,
or very d s e to,
any air bag when it inflates can be seriously
injured or killed. Air bags plus lap-shoulder
belts offer the best protection for adults, but
not for young children and infants. Neither the
vehicle's safety belt system nor its air bag
system is designed for them. Young children
and infants need
the
protection that a ehiici
restraint system can provide. Always secure
children properly
in
your vehicle. To read how,
see the part of this manual called "Older
Children" or "Infants and Young Children".
