Important Safety Reminders
Even with an airbag, you need to wear a seat belt. The reasons are:
Airbags only inflate in severe frontal collisions. They offer no
protection in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers, or moderate
frontal collisions.
An airbag inflates and deflates very quickly. It cannot protect you
during any additional impacts that can occur during a crash.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper position when an airbag
inflates. An airbag opens with considerable force and can hurt you
if you are not in the proper position.
