Air bags
You can take steps to reduce the risk

from front air bags, while still main-
taining control of the vehicle.

friction between the seat and the
passenger. The passenger's hips
may slide under the lap portionof the seat belt during an acci-
dent or a sudden stop. Serious or fatal internal injuries could result because the seat
belt cannot operate properly.
