NEVER SECURE REAR-FACING INFANT SEATS IN THE FRONT SEAT. *[SR16255(ALL)11/95] The force of the rapidly inflating passenger air bag could push the top of the rear-facing seat against the vehicle seatback, armrests or console. Rear-facing infant seats must always be secured in the rear seat.
File:03fcsrt.ex Update:Mon Jan 22 15:46:18 1996 % How the Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System Operates *[SR16600(ALL)06/95] The Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System consists of the driver and passenger air bags, impact sensors, a system diagnostic module, a readiness light and tone, and the electrical wiring which connects the components. *[SR16750(ALL)06/95] The driver air bag is in the center of the steering wheel.
File:03fcsrt.ex Update:Mon Jan 22 15:46:18 1996 *[SR17400(ALL)07/95] If a collision occurs, the sensors sense the severity of the impact and activate the air bags if necessary. The air bag system is designed to deploy in frontal and front-angled collisions more severe than hitting a parked vehicle (of similar size and weight) head-on at about 28 mph (45 km/h).
File:03fcsrt.
File:03fcsrt.ex Update:Mon Jan 22 15:46:18 1996 *[SR18400(ALL)07/95] RWARNING If the air bag is inflated, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT FUNCTION AGAIN AND MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. If the air bag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. *[SR18425(ALL)07/95] To ensure that the air bag system will operate as intended in a crash, the system is equipped with a diagnostic module, which controls a readiness lamp and a warning tone.
File:03fcsrt.ex Update:Mon Jan 22 15:46:18 1996 *[SR18601(ALL)07/95] RWARNING Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System or its fuses.

File:03fcsrt.ex Update:Mon Jan 22 15:46:18 1996 *[SR20600(ALL)10/95] RWARNING Passengers should not be allowed to ride in the cargo area. Persons not riding in a seat with a fastened seat belt are much more likely to suffer serious injury in a collision. Cargo should always be secured to prevent it from shifting and causing damage to the vehicle or harm to passengers. *[SR20650(ALL)06/95] When possible, put children in the rear seat of your vehicle.
