Replacing Airbag System Parts
after a Crash

{

Warning

A crash can damage the airbag systems
in the vehicle. A damaged airbag system
may not properly protect you and your
passenger(s) in a crash, resulting in
serious injury or even death. To help
make sure the airbag systems are
working properly after a crash, have
them inspected and any necessary
replacements made as soon as possible.

If an airbag inflates, you will need to
replace airbag system parts. See your dealer
for service.

If the airbag readiness light stays on after
the vehicle is started or comes on when you
are driving, the airbag system may not work
properly. Have the vehicle serviced right
away. See

Older Children

Older children who have outgrown booster
seats should wear the vehicle

s seat belts.

The manufacturer instructions that come
with the booster seat state the weight and
height limitations for that booster. Use a
booster seat with a lap-shoulder belt until
the child passes the fit test below:

.

Sit all the way back on the seat. Do the
knees bend at the seat edge? If yes,
continue. If no, return to the booster seat.

.

Buckle the lap-shoulder belt. Does the
shoulder belt rest on the shoulder? If yes,
continue. If no, try using the rear seat
belt comfort guide, if available. See

Rear

Seat Belt Comfort Guides

under

Lap-Shoulder Belt

If a comfort guide

is not available, or if the shoulder belt
still does not rest on the shoulder, then
return to the booster seat.

.

Does the lap belt fit low and snug on the
hips, touching the thighs? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.

.

Can proper seat belt fit be maintained for
the length of the trip? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.

Q: What is the proper way to wear seat

belts?

A:

An older child should wear a lap-shoulder
belt and get the additional restraint a
shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder
belt should not cross the face or neck.
