Front airbags
The airbag for the driver is located in the
steering wheel hub and is marked
if the ignition is switched off
in side collis ions
in rear-end collisions
in rollovers.
Front airbags may not inf late
in certain fron­
tal collisions. Vehicle damage, repair costs
or even the lack
of vehicle damage is not
necessarily an ind ication of proper airbag
operation .
SAFETY FIRST
The front airbags can only provide additional
protection for the chest and face
of the driv­
er and the front seat passenger when
...
safety belts are worn properly,
the seats have been positioned so that
the occupant
is properly seated as far as possible from the airbag
and the head restraints have been prop­
erly adjusted.
Airbags do not protect the l
ower part of the
body.
belts are important to help keep front
seat occupants in the proper seated posi­
tion so that airbags
can unfold properly and
provide added protection
as intended.
