The driver supplemental air bag is located in
the center of the steering wheel. The passen-
ger supplemental air bag is located in the top
right section of the instrument panel.
These systems are designed to meet optional
certification requirements under U.S. regula-tions. They are also permitted in Canada. The
optional certification allows air bags to be
designed to inflate somewhat less forcefully
than previously.However, all of the informa-
tion, cautions and warnings in this manual
still apply and must be followed.
The supplemental air bag system is designed
to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of a higher
severity frontal impact. It may not inflate in
certain frontal collisions. Vehicle damage (or
lack of it) is not always an indication of proper
supplemental air bag system operation.
The front passenger supplemental air bag is
equipped with an ON/OFF switch. Because
no rear seat exists where a rear facing child
restraint can be secured, the switch is de-
signed to turn OFF the passenger supple-
mental air bag so that a rear facing child
restraint can be used in the front passenger
seat. See ``Passenger supplemental air bag
ON/OFF switch and light'' later in this section
for details.
When the supplemental air bag inflates, a
fairly loud noise may be heard, followed by
the release of smoke. This smoke is not
harmful and does not indicate a fire, but
care should be taken not to unintentionally
inhale it, as it may cause irritation and
choking. Those with a history of a breathing
condition should get fresh air promptly.
The supplemental air bags, along with the use
of the seat belts, helps to cushion the impact
force on the face and chest of the occupant. It

Shoulder belt height adjustment
(front seats only)
The shoulder belt anchor height should be
adjusted to the position best for you. (See
``Precautions on seat belt usage'' earlier in
this section.) To adjust, squeeze the adjust-
ment buttons and move the shoulder belt
anchor to the desired position, so the belt
passes over the center of the shoulder. The
belt should be away from your face and
neck, but not falling off of your shoulder.
Release the adjustment buttons to lock the
shoulder belt anchor into position.
WARNING
IAfter adjustment, release the but-
tons and try to move the shoulder
belt anchor up and down to make
sure it is securely fixed in position.
IThe shoulder belt anchor height
should be adjusted to the position
best for you. Failure to do so may
reduce the effectiveness of the en-
tire restraint system and increase
the chance or severity of injury in an
accident.
TWO-POINT TYPE WITHOUT RE-
TRACTOR (Center of 60/40 bench
seat)
On 60/40 bench seat equipped models, the
center seat belt buckle and tonque are
identified by the word CENTER. The center
seat belt tongue can be fastened only into the
center seat belt buckle.
Pull down and latch the armrest/storage
compartment lid and push up the arm rest
assembly to the upright position.
