Children and airbags

Children must always be properly

restrained. Accident statistics

suggest that children are safer when

properly restrained in the rear

seating positions than in the front

seating position. Failure to follow

these instructions may increase the

risk of injury in a collision.

Airbags can kill or injure a

child in a child seat.

NEVER place a rear-facing child

seat in front of an active airbag. If

you must use a forward-facing

child seat in the front seat, move

the seat all the way back.

How does the airbag supplemental restraint system work?

The airbag SRS is designed to

activate when the vehicle sustains a

longitudinal deceleration sufficient

to cause the airbag sensors to close

an electrical circuit that initiates

airbag inflation. The fact that the

airbags did not inflate in a collision

does not mean that something is

wrong with the system. Rather, it

means the forces were not sufficient

enough to cause activation. Front

airbags are designed to inflate in

frontal and near-frontal collisions, not rollover, side-impact, or

rear-impacts unless the collision causes sufficient longitudinal

deceleration.
