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.

WARNING: 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

longitudinal deceleration sufficient

to cause the 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 of the type

sufficient 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.
