Warning!
USE CHILD RESTRAINTS
PROPERLY
• Infants and small children must
be seated in an infant or child
restraint system, which is
properly secured by a lap belt or
lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder
belt. Children could been
dangered in an accident if their
child restraints are not properly
secured in the vehicle.
• Rear-facing child restraints must
not be used in the front seat.
They could be struck by the
airbag when it inflates in a crash.
If this happens, a child in the
restraint could be seriously or
fatally injured.
• According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating
positions.
• Children too big for child
restraint systems should ride in
rear seats using regular seat belts.
Position shoulder belt across chest
and shoulder, not face or neck. A
booster seat may be necessary to
achieve proper belt positioning.
• Adjust the front passenger seat as
far as possible rear ward from the
dashboard when a child restraint
is installed.
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS)
The SRS uses two crash severity levels
(thresholds) to activate either the ETR
or airbag or both. Activation depends
on exceeding the thresholds and
fastening of the seat belt.
Seat belt fastened
• first threshold exceeded:
ETR activates
• second threshold exceeded:
airbag also activates
Seat belt not fastened
• first threshold exceeded: airbag
activates, but not ETR
Driver and front passenger systems
operate independently from each other
