record the use of the seat belt restraint
system by the driver when the SRS air-
bags are inflated.

CAUTION
D
The SRS airbag system is designed
only as a supplement to the prima-
ry protection of the driver and pas-
senger seat belt systems. The driv-
er and passenger can be killed or
seriously injured by the inflating
airbags if they do not wear the
available seat belts properly. During
sudden braking just before a colli-
sion, an unrestrained driver or pas-
senger can move forward into direct
contact with or close proximity to
the airbag which may then deploy
during the collision. To ensure max-
imum protection in an accident, the
driver and passenger in the vehicle
must wear their seat belts properly.
Wearing a seat belt properly during
an accident reduces the chances of
death or serious injury or being
thrown out of the vehicle. For in-
structions and precautions concern-
ing the seat belt system, see "Seat
belts"on page 31.
D
Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed
or seriously injured by the deploy-
ing airbags. An infant or child who
is too small to use a seat belt
should be properly secured using a
child restraint system. For instruc-
tions concerning the installation of
a child restraint system, see "Child
restraint"on page 46.
