Safety features of your vehicle
WARNING- Driver’s seat Never attempt to adjust the seatwhile the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control of
your vehicle.
Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the
seatback. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way
interfering with proper locking of
a seatback.
Sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while still
maintaining comfortable control
of your vehicle. A distance of at
least 10" from your chest to the
steering wheel is recommended.
Failure to do so can result in
airbag inflation injuries to the
driver.
WARNING - Uprighting
seat
Do not press the release lever on a
manual seatback without holding
and controlling the seatback. The
seatback will spring upright possi-
bly impacting you or other passen-
gers.
WARNING- Loose objects
Do not place anything in the dri-
ver's foot well or under the front
seats. Loose objects in the driver's
foot area could interfere with the
operation of the foot pedals.
WARNING- Driver respon-
sibility for passengers
The driver must advise the passen-
ger to keep the seatback in an
upright position whenever the vehi-
cle is in motion. If a seat is reclined
during an accident, the occupant's
hips may slide under the lap por-
tion of the seat belt, applying great
force to the unprotected abdomen.
WARNING- Seat cushion
Occupants should never sit on seat
cushions. The passenger's hips
may slide under the lap portion of
the seat belt during an accident or
a sudden stop.

Safety features of your vehicle
How does the air bag system
operate
Air bag are activated (able to inflate ifnecessary) only when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or START
the appropriate position.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of serious frontal or side collision (if
equipped with side impact air bag or
curtain air bag) in order to help protect
the occupants from serious physical
injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a col-
lision and its direction. These two fac-
tors determine whether the sensors
produce an electronic deployment/
inflation signal.
Air bag deployment depends on a number of complex factors including
vehicle speed, angles of impact and
the density and stiffness of the vehi-
cles or objects which your vehicle hits
in the collision. Though, factors are not
limited to those mentioned above.
The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant. It is virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an accident.
It is much more likely that you will sim-
ply see the deflated air bags hanging
out of their storage compartments after
the collision.
In order to help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag
inflation is a consequence of extremely
short time in which a collision occurs
and the need to get the air bag
between the occupant and the vehicle
structures before the occupant impacts
those structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries in a severe collision
and is thus a necessary part of air bag
design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include facial
abrasions, bruises and broken bones
because the inflation speed also caus-
es the air bags to expand with a great
deal of force.
There are even circumstances under which contact with the steer-
ing wheel air bag can cause fatal
injuries, especially if the occupant
is positioned excessively close to
the steering wheel.
WARNING - Airbag inflation
Sit as far back as possible from the
steering wheel while still maintain-
ing comfortable control of your
vehicle. A distance of at least 10"
from your chest to the steering
wheel is recommended. Failure to
do so can result in airbag inflation
injuries to the driver.
