DRIVER'S AIR BAG
*
The air bag is stored in the center pad of
the steering wheel.
The air bag Supplementary Restraint
System (SRS) helps protect the driver's
head and chest against injuries in the event
of a collision.
The air bag system activates during severe
collisions which are either frontal or when
the impact angle is up to 30∞ from straight
ahead.
The air bag inflates within milliseconds
during a crash and forms a safety cushion
for the driver.
After the air bag completely inflates, it
immediately deflates so that it does not
interfere with the driver's visibility or ability
to steer and operate other controls.
The air bag inflates with considerable force
and speed. It is therefore important that the
driver's seat and seat back should be
correctly adjusted, for the air bag to be fully
effective. The driver's seat should be
adjusted so that the steering wheel can be
reached with the arms slightly angled.
When the air bag inflates, an operating
noise may be heard and a small amount of
smoke-like gas will be released. The gas is
harmless and does not indicate that there
is a fire.
ï Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to be used
for adult seat belts, harnesses or for
attaching other items or equipment
to the vehicle.
ï If child restraint anchor bolt is
removed from the shelf, the hole
must be effectively sealed with
another suitable bolt to prevent
exhaust gases entering the vehicle
interior.
