Airbag System
Your vehicle has airbags – one airbag for the driver
and another airbag for the right front passenger.
Frontal airbags are designed to help reduce the risk of
injury from the force of an inflating airbag. But these
airbags must inflate very quickly to do their job
and comply with federal regulations.
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 designed to work with
safety belts, but do not replace them. Airbags
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,
airbags may provide less protection in frontal
crashes than more forceful airbags have
provided in the past. Everyone in your vehicle
should wear a safety belt properly — whether or
not there is an airbag for that person.
