Supplementary Restraints System

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS
Extreme Hazard! Never use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an active airbag in
front of it. Death or serious injury to the
child can occur.
Do not modify the front of your
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death.
Wear a seatbelt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seatbelt correctly, can it hold you in a
position that allows the airbag to achieve
its optimum effect. Failure to adhere to
this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.
Repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
seatbelts must be carried out by an
authorized dealer. Failure to adhere to this
warning could result in serious personal
injury or death.
Keep the areas in front of the airbags
free from obstruction. Do not affix
anything to or over the airbag covers.
In the event of a crash, hard objects could
cause serious personal injury or death.
Do not puncture the seat with sharp
objects. This could damage and
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags. Failure to adhere to this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death.
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by an authorized dealer. Failure to
adhere to this warning could result in
serious personal injury or death.

Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a
cloud of harmless powdery residue if an
airbag deploys. This is normal.
Note: Only wipe airbag covers with a damp
cloth.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER
AIRBAGS
E151127
The airbags will deploy during significant
frontal collisions or collisions. The airbags
will inflate within a few thousandths of a
second and deflate on contact with the
occupants, thus cushioning forward body
movement. During minor frontal collisions,
overturns, rear collisions and side
collisions, the airbag will not deploy.

SIDE AIRBAGS

WARNING
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by an authorized dealer.
