Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags \1do not replace seat belts; they add to
the protection offered by seat belts. Airbags c\1an help protect you in some types of

Always make sure you and your passengers wear \1seat belts\b and that young children
are properly secured in a child seat or booster \1in the rear seat. Never place an infant
seat in the front passenger’s seat\b as the forc\1e of a deploying airbag can seriously
injure an infant.
