Here are the most important things to know about the air

bag systems:

CAUTION:

You can be severely injured or killed in a crash

if you aren’t wearing your safety belt

-- even if

you have air bags. Wearing your safety belt

during a crash helps reduce your chance of

hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected

from it. Air bags are “supplemental restraints” to

the safety belts. All air bags are designed to work

with safety belts but don’t replace them.

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

-speed frontal

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. 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.
