Supplementary Restraints System

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an airbag in front
of it!
Do not modify the front of your
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags.
Wear a safety belt and keep
sufficient distance between yourself
and the steering wheel. Only when
you use the safety belt properly, can it hold
you in a position that allows the airbag to
achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting
in the Correct Position (page 84).
Repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
safety belts must be carried out by
an authorized dealer.
Keep the areas in front of the airbags
free from obstruction. Do not affix
anything to or over the airbag covers.
Do not puncture the seat with sharp
objects. This could damage and
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags.
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by an authorized dealer.
Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a
cloud of harmless powdery residue if an
airbag deploys. This is normal.
Note: The front passenger airbag protects
both positions of a double seat.
Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a damp
cloth.

DRIVER AIRBAG

The airbag will deploy during significant
frontal collisions or collisions that are up
to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The
airbag will inflate within a few thousandths
of a second and deflate on contact with
the occupant, thus cushioning forward
body movement. During minor frontal
collisions, overturns, rear collisions and
side collisions, the airbag will not deploy.
