Safety system of your vehicle
The purpose of the SRS is to provide
the driver and/or the front passenger
with additional protection than that
offered only by the seat belt system
in case of a frontal impact of suffi-
cient severity.
Always use seat belts and child
restraints – every trip, every
time, everyone! Air bags inflate
with considerable force and in
the blink of an eye. Seat belts
help keep occupants in proper
position to obtain maximum
benefit from the air bag. Even
with air bags, improperly and
unbelted occupants may be
severely injured when the air
bag inflates. Always follow the
precautions about seat belts, air
bags and occupant safety, as
specified in this manual.
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries and receive the
maximum safety benefit from
your restraint system:
•
Never install a child restraint
or a booster seat in a front
seat to sit a child.
•
ABC - Always Buckle Children
in a rear seat. It is the safest
place for children of any ages
to ride.

Front passenger's air bag
(Continued)
•
Front air bags may injure
occupants, who improperly sit
in a front seat.
•
Locate your seat in the rear-
most position from the front
air bags, while still maintain-
ing control of the vehicle.
•
You and your passengers
should never sit or lean
unnecessarily close to the air
bags. Improperly positioned
drivers and passengers may
be severely injured by inflat-
ing air bags.
•
Never lean against the door or
center console - always sit in
an upright position.
