--------------------------------------------------SAFETYRRST
�W ARNING
• To reduce the risk of injury
when the front airbags inflate, the
driver and passenger should al
ways sit in an upright position and
must never lean against or place
any part of your body too close to
the area where the front alrbags
are located.
• See "Imp ortance of proper seat
ing position" in this section at
pages 29 and 37 and heed all
WA RNINGS.
G Occupants who are unbelted,
out of position or too close to the
airbag can be seriously injured by
an airbag as it unfolds with great
force in the blink of an eye. For
seat adjustment, see page 76. Remember
too, airbags will deploy only
once and only in certain kinds of accidents
- your safety belts are a�ways t� ere t? off �r
protection in those acc1dents m wh1ch air
bags are not supposed to deploy or when
they have already deployed.
An airbag is not a substitute �or the safety
belt. It is part of the overall veh1cle safety sy
stem. The airbag system works most effec
tively when used with the safety belts.
Therefore, always wear your safety belts.
See pages 14 to 24.
It is important to remember that 'JI:'hile the
supplemental airbag system . IS d� s�g �ed to
reduce the likelihood of senous lnJUnes, 1t
can cause swelling, bruising, and minor
abrasions. How
the front airbag system works
The airbag system is designed so that in a
severe frontal collision the driver and
front passenger airbags are triggered. Th�
front airbags will not inflate in frontal colli
sions in which vehicle deceleration is not
high enough, or in side or rear collisions, or
in rollovers.
It is not possible to define an airbag trig�er
ing range that will cover every poss1ble
angle of impact, since the circumstances
will vary considerably between one acci
dent and another.
Important factors include, for example, the
nature ( hard or soft) of the object which the
car hits, the angle of impact, vehicle speed,
and etc.
27
--------------------------SAFETY FIRST
Importance
of proper seating
position
In a collision airbags must inflate within a
blink of an eye and with considerable force.
The supplemental airbags could injure you
if you are not seated properly. Therefore in
order to help the airbag to do its job, it is im
portant, both as a driver and as a passenger
to sit properly at all times. By keeping room
between your body and the front of the pas
senger compartment, the airbag can inflate
fully and completely and provide supple
mental protection in certain frontal colli
sions. See page 76 for information on the
adjustment of the front seats and also
"Front seats" page 78, for details on the op
eration of the seat adjustment controls. It's
especially importantthat children be proper
ly restrained. See chapter "Child safety",
page 44. �W
ARNING
• Sitting too close to the stee ring
wheel or instrument panel will de
crease the effe ctiveness of the air
bags and will increase the risk of
personal injury in an accident.
• If you are unrestrained, leaning
forward, sitting sideways or out of
position in any way. your risk of in
jury is much higher. You will also
receive serious or fatal injuries
from the airbag if you are up
against it or too close to it when it
inflates.
• To reduce the risk of injury
when an alrbag inflates, always
wear safety belts properly.
See "How to wear the safety belts
properly" on page 18. '4
WARNING continued
• Children age 12 or younger
should always ride in the rear seat.
If children are not properly re
strained, they may be severely in
jured or killed when an airbag
inflates. Never let children ride un
restr ained or improperly re
strained in the vehicle.
• Adjust the front seats properly.
- Never ride with the backrest re-
clined.
- Always sit as far as possible
from the the stee ring wheel or
the instrument panel.
Always heed all WA RNINGS
on next page.
