WARNING

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS

WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY

EVEN WITH AN AIRBAG.

— Seat belts help keep the driver

and passengers properly posi-

tioned. This reduces the risk of

injury in all collisions, and re-

duces the risk of serious injuries

or death when the airbags inflate.

During sudden braking just be-

fore a collision, an unrestrained or

improperly restrained driver or

front passenger can move forward

into direct contact with, or within

close proximity to, the airbag

when it begins to inflate.

The beginning stage of airbag

inflation is the most forceful and

can cause serious injuries or death

if the occupant comes in contact

with the airbag at this time.

— Seat belts reduce the risk of

injury in rear impact collisions,
