SRS AIRBAG contacts an occupant not in proper position such
as one thrown toward the front of the car during pre-accident
braking.
D The SRS AIRBAGs deploy with considerable speed and force.
Occupants who are out of proper position when the SRS AIRBAG
deploys could suffer very serious injuries. Because the SRS AIR-
BAG needs much space for deployment, the driver should always
sit upright and well back in the seat as far from the steering
wheel as practical while still maintaining full vehicle control and
the front passenger should move the seat as far back as possible
and sit upright and well back in the seat.
D Do not place any objects over the SRS AIRBAG cover or
between you and the SRS AIRBAG. If the SRS AIRBAG deploys,
those objects could interfere with its proper operation and could
be propelled inside the car and cause injury.
Adjust the seatback to
upright position. Sit
well back and upright.
Move the seat as far from the
steering wheel as practical.
WARNING
D Be sure to put children aged 12 and under in the rear seat
properly restrained at all times. The SRS AIRBAG deploys with
considerable speed and force and can injure or even kill children,
especially if they are 12 years of age and under and are not re-
strained or improperly restrained. Because children are lighter
and weaker than adults, their risk of being injured from deploy-
Seat, seat belt and SRS AIRBAG
