WARNING
•
An SRS air bag is not a substitute for a
seat belt. A seat belt must be worn by
every occupant of the vehicle.
If you do not wear your seat belt, you may
be thrown forward in the event of a colli-
sion or emergency braking. If the air bag
inflates at the same time, the powerful
shock may cause fatal injuries. Be sure to
wear the seat belt for the following rea-
sons:
•
The seat belt keeps you properly posi-
tioned when the SRS air bag inflates.
•
The seat belt can reduce the risk of
injury in a collision that does not cause
the SRS air bag to inflate.
•
The seat belt reduces the risk of your
being thrown from the vehicle.
•
Adjust the position of the seat correctly.
Sit upright with your back against the seat-
back.
Do not sit too close to the SRS air bag or
lean toward it. Inflation of the SRS air bag
takes place extremely quickly, so it could
fatally injure you if the distance between
you and the air bag is too short.
•
After the SRS air bag has inflated, its com-
ponents and items in its vicinity will be
hot. Do not touch them or you could be
burned.
•
Do not splash water or apply shock to the
computer
left side of the driver's feet. Otherwise, the
SRS air bag may malfunction, or may not
function correctly in a collision, and could
cause serious injuries.
