Supplemental Inflatable Restraint
(SIR)
System
This part explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint
(SIR)
system or air bag system.
Your vehicle has
an air
bag
for the driver.
Here are the most important things to
know
about the
air
bag
system:
To
unlatch the belt,
just
push the button
on
the buckle.
The belt should
go
back out
of
the way.
Before you close the door, be sure the belt is
out
of
the
way.
If
you
slam the door
on
it,
you can damage both the
belt and your vehicle.
’
You can be severely injured or killed in
a
crash if
you aren’t wearing your safety belt
--
even if you
have an
air
bag. Wearing your safety belt during
a
crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things
inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. Air
bags are “supplemental restraints” to the safety
belts.
All
air
bags are designed to work with
safety belts, but don’t replace them. Air bags are
designed to
work
only in moderate to severe
crashes where the front of your vehicle hits
something. They aren’t designed to inflate at all
