Note: The knee airbag has a lower
deployment threshold than the front
airbags. During a minor collision, it is
possible that only the knee airbag deploys.
Side airbags
Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback
of the front seats. A label indicates that
side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.
The side airbags will deploy during
significant lateral collisions. The airbags
will inflate within a few thousandths of a
second and deflate on contact with the
occupants, thus providing protection for
the chest and shoulder areas. During minor
lateral collisions, overturns, front collisions
and rear collisions, the side airbags will not
deploy.
Curtain airbags
Curtain airbags are fitted inside the trim
panels over the front and rear side
windows. Moulded badges in the B-pillar
trim panels indicate that curtain airbags
are fitted to your vehicle.
The curtain airbags will deploy during
significant lateral collisions. The airbag will
inflate within a few thousandths of a
second and deflate on contact with the
occupants, thus providing protection for
the head. During minor lateral collisions,
front collisions, rear collisions, or overturns
the curtain airbags will not deploy.
Safety belts
WARNINGS
Wear a safety belt and keep
sufficient distance between yourself
and the steering wheel. Only when
you use the safety belt properly, can it hold
you in a position to achieve its optimum
effect. See Sitting in the Correct
Position (page 126).
Never use a safety belt for more than
one person.
Use the correct buckle for each
safety belt.
Do not use a safety belt that is slack
or twisted.
Do not wear thick clothing. The
safety belt must fit tightly around
your body to achieve its optimum
effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the
safety belt over the centre of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
