CAUTION:

Anyone who is up against, or very close to,
any airbag when it inflates can be seriously
injured or killed. Airbags plus lap-shoulder
belts offer the best protection for adults, but
not for young children and infants. Neither the
vehicle’s safety belt system nor its airbag
system is designed for them. Young children
and infants need the protection that a child
restraint system can provide. Always secure
children properly in your vehicle. To read how,
see Older Children
on page 1-29 or Infants and
Young Children
on page 1-32.

There is an airbag
readiness light on
the instrument panel
cluster, which shows the
airbag symbol.

The system checks the airbag electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See Airbag Readiness Light on page 3-31
for more information.

Where Are the Airbags?

The driver’s frontal airbag is in the middle of the
steering wheel.
