Air bags are safety devices designed to supplement the protection provided by safety belts.
In North America, over one million air bags have deployed saving over 1700 lives as well as preventing many serious injuries. However, because air bags inflate almost instantaneously with great force, they do have the potential to cause fatalities or serious injury in certain situations. Stay seated in the upright position, making sure that the lap portion of the belt is worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs, and the shoulder belt goes over the shoulder and across the chest. Check both the Owner s Manual for your vehicle and the instructions for your child safety seat for proper use information. Always use the child safety seat top tether strap supplied with your child safety seat.
