CAUTION
!
S The SRS airbag system is designed
only as a supplement to the prima-
ry protection of the seat belt sys-
tems of the driver and front passen-
ger . The front seat occupants are
particularly susceptible to injury if
they do not wear their seat belts;
when sudden braking or a collision
occurs, they may be thrown for-
ward. To obtain maximum protec-
tion in an accident, the driver and
all passengers in the vehicle
should always wear their seat belts
when driving because serious in-
juries can result to unrestrained
occupants. For instructions and
precautions concerning
belt systems, see "Seat belts" in
this chapter.
S A baby or small child who is too
small to use a seat belt should be
properly secured in a rear seat us-
ing a child restraint system.
S Never put a rear-facing child re-
straint system in the front seat be-
cause the force of the rapid infla-
tion of the passenger airbag can
cause severe injury to the child.
the seat
S Only
when it is unavoidable
should a forward-facing child re-
straint system be used on the front
seat. Always move the seat as far
back as possible because the
force of deploying airbag would
cause serious injury to the child.
For instructions concerning the
installation of a child restraint sys-
tem, see "Child restraint" in this
chapter.
