THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 35 Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger. Side airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection. The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types of collisions. The front airbags deploy only in moderate to severe frontal collisions. In certain types of collisions, both the front and side airbags may be triggered. But even in collisions where the airbags work, you need the seat belts to keep you in the right positon for the airbags to protect you properly. Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in the rear seat. Infants in rear-facing child restraints (designed for children up to 20 lbs. [9kg.] and at least one year old) should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag. An airbag deployment could cause serious injury or death to an infant in that position. Children that are not big enough to properly wear the vehicle seat belt (see section on "Child Restraint") should be secured in the rear seat in child restraints or beltpositioning booster seats appropriate for the size and age of the child. Older children who do not use child restraints or beltpositioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm. If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the front passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint. See the section on "Child Restraint". You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly. 2. All occupants should wear their lap and shoulder belts properly. 3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate. 2

Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along

with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instru-

ment panel knee bolsters to provide improved protection

for the driver and front passenger. Side airbags also work

with seat belts to improve occupant protection.

The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types

of collisions. The front airbags deploy only in moderate

to severe frontal collisions. In certain types of collisions,

both the front and side airbags may be triggered. But

even in collisions where the airbags work, you need the

seat belts to keep you in the right positon for the airbags

to protect you properly.

Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize

the risk of harm from a deploying airbag.

1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride

buckled up in the rear seat.

Infants in rear-facing child restraints (designed for chil-

dren up to 20 lbs. [9kg.] and at least one year old) should

NEVER

ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passen-

ger front airbag. An airbag deployment could cause

serious injury or death to an infant in that position.

Children that are not big enough to properly wear the

vehicle seat belt (see section on “Child Restraint”) should

be secured in the rear seat in child restraints or belt-

positioning booster seats appropriate for the size and age

of the child.

Older children who do not use child restraints or belt-

positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled

up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the

shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.

If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the front

passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the

seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child

restraint. See the section on “Child Restraint”.

You should read the instructions provided with your

child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly.

2. All occupants should wear their lap and shoulder belts

properly.

3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved

back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to

inflate.
