CAUTION: (Continued)
Frontal airbags for the driver and right front
passenger are designed to deploy only in
moderate to severe frontal and near frontal
crashes. They are not designed to inflate in
rollover, rear or low-speed frontal crashes,
or in many side crashes. And, for some
unrestrained occupants, frontal airbags may
provide less protection in frontal crashes
than more forceful airbags have provided in
the past.
Side impact airbags 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 are not
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 is an
airbag for that person.
CAUTION:
{
Both frontal and side impact airbags inflate
with great force, faster than the blink of an
eye. If you are too close to an inflating airbag,
as you would be if you were leaning forward,
it could seriously injure you. Safety belts
help keep you in position for airbag inflation
before and during a crash. Always wear your
safety belt, even with frontal airbags. 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.
