32 Seats, restraints
Airbag system
When triggered, airbags inate
within milliseconds. They also
deate so quickly that it is often
unnoticeable during the collision.
Danger
Do not make any modications to
the airbag system.
The driver should sit back as far
as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sitting too
close to the airbag, can cause
death or serious injury when it
inates.
Always wear a seat belt.
Warning
Airbags are part of the
supplemental restraint system
(SRS) as they assist, but do not
replace seat belts. Airbags do not
deploy in every accident. Various
factors dictate whether they
deploy including speed, angle of
collision and object hit. Airbags
are not designed to inate if the
vehicle is hit from the rear or is
involved in a rollover. Seat belts
must be worn by all passengers
whenever the vehicle is moving.
Airbags inate with great force. If
you are too close to an inating
airbag it may cause injury.
Seat belts help keep you in
position for airbag ination in the
event of a collision.
Warning
WARNING – EXTREME HAZARD
Do not use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected
by an airbag in front of it.
The child could be seriously
injured if the airbag inates, as
the child’s head would be very
close to the inating airbag.
Remember that it is safest for
children to be seated in the rear
seats. See Child restraints on
page 36.
