If two adults and a child occupy a Regular Cab, properly restrain the

child in the center front unless doing so would interfere with driving the

vehicle. This arrangement provides lap and shoulder belt protection for

all occupants, and airbag protection for the adults. All occupants of the

vehicle should always properly wear their safety belts. Ensure the child

is properly restrained in an appropriate child seat or with the use of a

booster. A child or infant properly restrained in the center front seat

should not incur risk of serious injury from the airbags.

How does the airbag supplemental restraint system work?

The airbag SRS is designed to

activate when the vehicle sustains

sufficient longitudinal deceleration.

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. Airbags are

designed to inflate in frontal and

near-frontal collisions, not rollover,

side-impact, or rear-impacts.

The airbags inflate and deflate

rapidly upon activation. After airbag

deployment, it is normal to notice a

smoke-like, powdery residue or

smell the burnt propellant. This may

consist of cornstarch, talcum

powder (to lubricate the bag) or

sodium compounds (e.g., baking

soda) that result from the

combustion process that inflates the

airbag. Small amounts of sodium

hydroxide may be present which

may irritate the skin and eyes, but

none of the residue is toxic.

While the system is designed to help

reduce serious injuries, it may also

cause minor abrasions, swelling or temporary hearing loss. Because

airbags must inflate rapidly and with considerable force, there is the risk

of death or serious injuries such as fractures, facial and eye injuries or
