The most important things you need
to know about your airbags are:They are designed to supplement
the seat belts.
To do
their job, airbags must inf late with
tremendous f orce. So while
airbags help save lives, they can
cause minor injuries or more
serious or even fatal injuries if
occupants are not properly
restrained or sitting properly. Always wear
your seat belt properly, and sit
upright and as f ar back f rom the
steering wheel as possible while
allowing f ull control of the vehicle. A
f ront passenger should move their
seat as far back from the dashboard
as possible. The rest of this section gives more
detailed inf ormation about how you
can maximize your saf ety.
Remember however, that no saf ety
system can prevent all injures or
deaths that can occur in a severe
crash, even when seat belts are
properly worn and the airbags deploy.
Your Vehicle’s Saf ety Features
Airbags do not replace seat belts.
A irbags of f er no prot ect ion in rearimpact s, or minor f ront al or sidecollisions.
A irbags can pose hazards. What you should do:

        Page 15 of 268

Adjust the driver’s  seat-back  to a
comfortable,  upright position,
leaving  ample space between  your
chest  and the airbag  cover in the
center  of the  steering  wheel.
Passengers  with adjustable  seat-
backs  should  also adjust  their seat-
back  to a comfo rtable,  upright
position.
If 
you  sit too  close  to the  steering
wh eel  or dashboard,  you can be
seriously  injured by an inflating  front
airbag,  or by  striking  the steering
wh eel  or dashboard.
The  National  Highway  Traffic Safety
Administration  and Transport
Canada  recommend  that  drivers
allow  at least  10 inches  (25 cm)
between  the center  of the  steering
wheel  and the chest.  In addition  to
adjusting  the seat,  you can adjust  the
steering  wheel up and  down,  and in
and  out (see  page  ).
If  you  cannot  get far enough  away
from  the steering  wheel and still
reach  the controls,  we recommend
that  you investigate  whether some
type  of adaptive  equipment  may help. See page f or how to adjust the
f ront seats. Once a seat is adjusted correctly,
rock it back and f orth to make sure it
is locked in position.

If you  turn  the steering  wheel to the
full  left  or right  position  repeatedly
while  stopping  or driving  at very  low
speed,  you may  feel slightly  harder
steering  due to overhe ating of the
steering  gear box.
This 
indicator  normally comes on
when  you turn  the ignition  to the  ON
(II)  position  and goes  off after  the
engine  starts. If it comes  on at any
other  time, there  is a problem  in the
electric  power steering  system. If
this  happens,  stop the vehicle  in a
safe  place  and turn  off the  engine.
Reset  the system  by restarting  the
engine.  The indicator  will not turn
off  immediately.  If it does  not go off
after  driving  a short  distance,  or
comes  on again  while driving,  take
the  vehicle  to your  dealer  to have  it
checked.  With the indicator  on, the
EPS  may  be turn ed  off,  making  the
vehicle  harder to steer. This 
indicator  normally comes on for
a  few  seconds  when you turn  the
ignition  switch to the  ON  (II)
position.  When the brake  system
indicator  (amber) is on,  there  is the
problem  with the Cooperative
Control with regenerative brake,
Creep Aid System or Brake Assist
(the normal brake operates properly).
Have your vehicle checked by your
dealer.
For more inf ormation, see page .
Continuously driving under those
conditions could damage the power
steering system.
