Air Bag Systems This part explains the frontal and side impact air bag systems. Your vehicle has six air bags: 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) • A frontal air bag for the driver and another frontal air bag for the right front passenger, • a seat mounted side impact air bag for the driver and another for the right front passenger, • a roof-mounted side impact air bag for the driver and passenger directly behind the driver, and • a roof-mounted side impact air bag for the right front passenger and the person seated directly behind that passenger. Frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of injury from the force of an inflating air bag. But these air bags must inflate very quickly to do their job and comply with federal regulations. 1-48
