Essential Safety Equipment2-36•Reduce the possibility of injuries in
frontal or side collisions that are
not severe enough to activate the
air bag.
• Reduce the possibility of being
thrown from your vehicle.
• Reduce the possibility of injuries to
lower body and legs during an
accident because the air bag allows
no protection to these parts.
• Hold the driver in a position which
allows better control of the vehicle.
WARNING
!
Air Bags without Seat Belts:Depending only on the air bags
for protection during an accident
is dangerous. Alone, air bags may
not prevent serious injuries. The
appropriate air bags can be
expected to inflate only during a
frontal, side or near-frontal
collision of at least moderate
force. Vehicle occupants should
always wear seat belts.Small children, those under 18 kg (40
lb.), should be protected by a
child-restraint system (page 2-26).

WARNING
!
Child in the Front Seat:Placing a child, 12 years or
under, in the front seat is
dangerous. The child could be hit
by a deploying air bag and be
seriously injured or even killed. A
sleeping child is more likely to
lean against the door and be hit
by the side air bag in a moderate,
right-side collision. Whenever
possible, always secure a child 12
years and under in the rear seat
with an appropriate
child-restraint system for the
