Here are the most important things to know about the

airbag system:

{CAUTION:

You can be severely injured or killed in a crash

if you are not wearing your safety belt — even if

you have airbags. Wearing your safety belt

during a crash helps reduce your chance of

hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected

from it. Airbags are “supplemental restraints” to

the safety belts. All airbags are designed to

work with safety belts but do not replace them.

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. The

roof-mounted side impact airbags

CAUTION: (Continued)

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. Occupants

should not lean on or sleep against the door.
