Supplementary Restraints System

DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS

WARNING: Never place your arm or any objects over an airbag
module. Placing your arm over a deploying airbag can result in
serious arm fractures or other injuries. Objects placed on or over the
airbag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the
airbag into your face and torso causing serious injury.
WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.
Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag.
If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the
seat upon which the child seat is installed all the way back.
The driver and passenger front airbag system consists of:
• driver and passenger airbag modules
• crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. See Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator later in
this chapter.
• front passenger sensing system

Proper Driver and Front Passenger Seating Adjustment

WARNING: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 inches
(25 centimeters) between an occupant's chest and the driver airbag
module. Failure to follow this could seriously increase the risk of injury
or death.
