SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (AIR BAG SYSTEM)
This Supplemental Restraint System sec-
tion contains important information concern-
ing the driver and passenger air bags. The
Supplemental Restraint System Air Bag can
help reduce impact force to the driver and to
the front passenger in certain frontal colli-
sions. The air bags are designed to supple-
ment the crash protection provided by the
driver and front passenger seat belts and
are not a substitute for them. The seat
belts should always be correctly worn and
the driver and front passenger seated a
suitable distance from the steering wheel
and instrument panel. (See ''Seat belts'' for
instructions and precautions on seat belt
usage.)
The supplemental air bags will operate
only when the ignition switch is in the
''ON'' or ''START'' position.
WARNING
The supplemental air bags ordinarily
will not inflate in the event of a side
impact, rear impact, roll over, or lower
severity frontal collision; so always
wear your seat belts to help reduce the
risk or severity of injury in various
kinds of accidents.
The seat belts and the supplemental air
bags are most effective when you are
sitting back and upright in the seat. Air
bags inflate with great force. If you are
unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting
sideways or out of position in any way,
you are at greater risk of injury or death
in a crash and may also receive serious
or fatal injuries from the supplemental
air bag if you are up against it when it
inflates. Always sit back against the
seatback and use the seatbelts.
