Safety belts help keep you in position before andduring a crash. Always wear your safetybelt, even with air bags. The driver should sitas far back as possible while still maintaining control the vehicle. of r Children who are up against,or very close to, an air bag when it inflates canbe seriously injured or killed. Air bags plus lap-shoulder belts offer the best protection foradults and older children, but not for young children and infants.
