In a collision, airbags must inflate within a
blink of an eye and with considerable force.
In
order to do its job, the airbag needs room
to inflate so that it will be there to protect
the occupant as the occupant moves for­
ward into the airbag.
A vehicle occupant who is out of position
and to close to the airbag gets in the way of
on infloting nirbag. When an occupant is too
close he or she will be struck violently and
will r
�
ceive serious or possibly even fatal in­
jury.
In order for the airbag to offer protection, it
is important that all vehicle occupants, es­
pecially children who must ride on the front
seat in exceptional situations, be properly
restrained and as far away from the airbag
as possible. By keeping room between your
body and the front of the passenger
compartment, the airbag can inflate fully
and completely and provide supplemental
protection in certain frontal collisions.
� WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on
any seat, particularly the front
seat. Never let a child ride in the
cargo area of your car. If a child is
leaning forward, sitting sideways
or out of position in any way, the
child is more likely to be injured in
a crash and will receive serious or
fatal injuries if the child comes
into contact with an airbag as it in­
flates.
Safety belts and older children
Children of average size of about
7
years of
age and older may use the lap belt in excep­
tional circumstances if the proper use of
three point belts is not possible. Always re­
member that children do not have the pro­
nounced pelvic structure required for the
proper function of lap belts. The child's
safety absolutely requires that a lap belt be
fastened snugly and as low as possible
around the pelvis. Never let a lap belt pass
over the child's stomach or abdomen.
