Owners Manual

I /11 CAUTION:
I
Both frontal and side impact air bags inflate with
great force, faster than the blink
of an eye. If
you’re too close to an inflating air bag, it could
seriously injure you. Safety belts help keep you in
position for air bag inflation before and during
a
crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with air
bags. The driver should sit as far back as possible
while still maintaining control of the vehicle.
Front occupants should not lean on or sleep
against the door.
I /i\ CAUTION:
An inflating air bag can seriously injure small
children. Always secure children properly in your
vehicle. To read how, see the part of this manual
called “Children” and the caution label on the
right front passenger’s safety belt.
AIR BAG
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR BAG.
The system checks the
air bag electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See “Air Bag Readiness Light” in the Index
for more information.
