Carrying hard or sharp

objects on your lap, or driving with
a pipe or other sharp object in
your mouth, can result in injuries
if your front airbag inflates.

Devices intended to improve

occupant comfort or reposition the
shoulder part of a seat belt can
reduce the protective capability of
the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.

They could be

killed or injured in a crash, or

wearing a seat belt during a crash

against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of
the vehicle.
