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 safety belt pretensioner and airbag supplemental

restraint system work?

The safety belt pretensioner and

airbag SRS are designed to activate

when the vehicle sustains

longitudinal deceleration sufficient

to cause the sensors to close an

electrical circuit that initiates

pretensioner activation and airbag

inflation.

The fact that the airbags did not

activate in a collision does not mean

that something is wrong with the

system. Rather, it means the forces were not of the type sufficient to

cause activation. Front airbags are designed to activate in frontal and

near-frontal collisions, not rollover, side-impact, or rear-impacts unless

the collision causes sufficient longitudinal deceleration.
