CAUTION: (Continued)
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.
{CAUTION:
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 before and during a
crash. Always wear your safety belt, even
with airbags. The driver should sit as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle.
If your vehicle has an airbag for the right front
passenger, read the following:
{CAUTION:
Anyone who is up against, or very close
to, any airbag when it inflates can be
seriously injured or killed. Airbags
plus lap-shoulder belts offer the best
protection for adults, but not for young
children and infants. Neither the vehicle’s
safety belt system nor its airbag system
is designed for them. Young children and
infants need the protection that a child
restraint system can provide. Always
secure children properly in your vehicle.

page 41 and Infants and Young Children
on page 44.
