Front air bags will not inflate
65D236
Front air bags will probably not inflate
65D237
They are not designed to inflate in rear
impacts, side impacts, rollovers or minor
frontal collisions, since they would offer no
protection in those types of accidents.
Remember, since air bags deploy only one
time during an accident, seat belts are
needed to restrain occupants from further
movements during the accident.
Therefore, an air bag is NOT a substitute
for seat belts. To maximize your protection,
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS. Be
aware that no system can prevent all pos-
sible injuries that may occur in an accident.
Your vehicle has “dual stage” front air
bags, which adjust the air bag inflation
force according to crash severity, driver’s
seat fore/aft position and whether or not
the front passenger’s seat belt is fastened.
Also, your vehicle has a front passenger
sensing system, which turns off the front
passenger’s front air bag and seat belt pre-
tensioner under certain conditions.

WARNING
An air bag supplements, or adds to,
the crash protection offered by seat
belts. The driver and all passengers
must be properly restrained by wear-
ing seat belts at all times, whether or
not air bags are mounted at their
seating position, to minimize the risk
of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash.
