SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)
• Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover
and inflator) may be hot for several minutes after
deployment. The airbags inflate only once
• Do not cover the steering wheel, instrument panel, seats
with any object (e. g. dash panel covers, seat covers) which
may prevent the airbags from inflating properly
• The airbags inflate with considerable force. While the
system is designed to reduce serious injuries, primarily to
the head and chest, it may also cause other, less severe
injuries to the face, chest, arms and hands. These are
usually in the nature of minor burns or abrasions and
swelling, but the force of a deploying airbag can also cause
more serious injuries, especially if an occupant's hands,
arms, chest or head is in close proximity to the airbag
module at the time of deployment. Sit straight and well back
into the seat. Move your seat as far back as practical to
allow room for airbag inflation, while still allowing you to
properly operate/drive the vehicle
The front passenger should never sit on the edge of the seat,
stand near the glove compartment, rest feet or other parts of
the body on the dashboard when the vehicle is moving.

POSITIONING
The driver or front passenger who is too close to the steering
wheel or dashboard can be seriously injured during airbag
deployment.
• The driver must sit as far back as possible from the steering
wheel while still maintaining control of the vehicle
• The front passenger must sit as far back as possible from
the dashboard
• Sitting improperly or out of position can cause occupants to
be shifted too close to a deploying airbag, strike the interior
structure or be thrown from the vehicle resulting in serious
injury
