If they do, they

could be very seriously injured in a
crash.

Devices intended to improve

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

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
airbags inflate.

If your

hands or arms are close to the
airbag covers in the center of the
steering wheel and on top of the
dashboard, they could be injured if
the airbags inflate.

Any object

attached to or placed on the
covers marked ‘‘SRS AIRBAG,’’
in the center of the steering
wheel and on top of the
dashboard, could interfere with
the proper operation of the
airbags. Or, if the airbags inflate,
the objects could be propelled
inside the car and hurt someone.

Children depend on adults to protect
them. However, despite their best
intentions, many parents and other
adults may not know how to
protect young passengers.

So if you have children, or if you ever
need to drive with a grandchild or
other children in your car, be sure to
read this section.
