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 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 pretensioners and

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.
