be
seated
in
the
rear

and
properly
restrained.
Accident
statistics
show
that
childr
en
of
all
sizes
and
ages
are safer
when
properly
restrained in the
rear
seat, rather
than
in
the
front
seat.
Any
child who
is too
large to use
a child
restraint
system
should
ride
in
the
rear
seat
and
wear
the lap
and
sho
ulder
belt
properly
. The
shoulder
belt
must
be
posi-
tion
ed over

acr
oss
the
chest,
not
acr
oss their
neck
, and
with
the
lap
belt posi
tione
d low
on
the
child’s hips,
not
acr
oss their
stomach.
If necessary
, a
booster
seat sho
uld be use
d to help
achieve
a proper
seat
belt
fit.
Follow
the
booster
seat
manufac
tur
er’s instr
uctions.
Only use
a booster

or child
in your
arms
or on

until
the
infant
is
one year
old
(unless
the infan

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag
Seat and restraint systems

N00407801

The SRS includes the following components:
The
airbag
control
unit
monitors
the
readiness
of the
electronic
parts
of the
system
whenever
the
ignition
switch
is
in
the
“ON”
or
“ST
ART”
position.
These
include
all
of
the
items listed above and all related wiring. The
airbags
will
operate
only
when
the
igni-
tion
switch
is in the
“ON”
or
“ST
ART”
posi-
tion. When
the
impact
sensors
detect
a front
or
side
impact
suf
ficient
to deploy
the
airbag(s),
the appropriate airbag(s) will be deployed.
When
airbags
deploy
, some
smo
ke
is relea
sed
accompanied
by
a loud
noise.
The
smoke
is
not
harmful,
but
do
not
intentionally
inhale
the
smoke
as
it may
cause
temporary
irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems.After
deployment,
the
airbags
will
quickly
deflate,
so
quickly
that
some
people
may
not
even
realize
the
airbags
inflated.
Airbag
inflation
does
not
prevent
the
driver
from
seeing
or being
able
to steer
the
vehicle,
and
does
not
prevent
people
from
leaving
the
veh
icle.
