■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions 
regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death 
or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in 
the vehicle must wear their seat 
belts properly.
The SRS airbags are supple-
mental devices to be used with 
the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys 
with considerable force, and 
can cause death or serious 
injury especially if the driver is 
very close to the airbag. The 
National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) 
advises:
Since the risk zone for the 
driver’s airbag is  the first 2 - 3 
in. (50 - 75 mm)  of inflation, 
placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) 
from your driver airbag provides 
you with a clear margin of 
safety. This distance is mea-
sured from the c enter of the 
steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 10 in. 
(250 mm) away now, you can 
change your driv ing position in 
several ways:
• Move your seat to  the rear as 
far as you can while still reach-
ing the pedals comfortably.
