Important supplemental restraint system (SRS)
precautions
The supplemental
restraint system is
designed to work with
the safety belt to help
protect the driver and
right front passenger
from certain upper
body injuries.
Air bags DO NOT
inflate slowly or gently
and the risk of injury
from a deploying air bag is greatest close to the trim
covering the air bag module.
All occupants of the vehicle including the
driver should always properly wear their
safety belts even when air bag SRS is provided.
Always transport children 12 years old and
under in the back seat and always use
appropriate child restraints.
NHTSA recommends a minimum distance of
at least 25 cm (ten [10] inches) between an
occupant’s chest and the air bag module.
Steps you can take to properly position yourself
away from the airbag:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while
still reaching the pedals comfortably.
• Recline the seat slightly (one or two degrees)
from the upright position.
