Supplemental Inflatable Restraint
System/Supplemental Restraint
System (Air
Bag)
This section explains the driver’s Supplemental
Inflatable Restraint (SIR)/Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) system, commonly referred to
as
an air
bag. Here are the most important things to
know:
Even
with
an aSr bag,
if
you’re not wearing
a
safety
belt
and you’re
[in
a
crash, your injuries
may be much worse.
Air
bags are not designed
to
inflate
in
rollovers or
in
rear, side or low-speed
I
frontal crashes.
You
need
to wear your safety
belt to reduce the chance of hitting
things
inside
the
vehicle
or
being
ejected
from
it.
Always
wear
I
your safety belt, even with an air bag.

A
CAUTION:
Air
bags
inflate
with
great
force, faster than the
blink
of
an eye. If you’re too close to
an
inflating
air
bag,
it
could seriously injure
you.
Safety
belts
help keep you
in
position for an air bag inflation
in
a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even
with an air bag, and sit as far back as you can
while
still
maintaining control
of
your vehicle.
There is
an
air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows “INFL REST” or “INFLATABLE
RESTRAINT.” The system checks itself and the light
tells you
if
there is
a
problem.
