IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING
• The SRS airbag system is most effective when used together with a seat belt
with pretensioner.
• The seat belt with pretensioner and SRS airbag system may not work,
depending on the situation at the time of collision. Refer to "When and How the
Seat Belt with Pretensioner and SRS Airbag System Operates" for details.
• Before driving the vehicle, properly adjust your seat for proper driving position
and wear the seat belt correctly. Do not sit closer than necessary to the steering
wheel and do not lean over it. (Leave a space of 25 cm (10 in) or more between
your chest and the center of the steering wheel.) Do not allow the passenger
to put his/her hands or feet on the instrument panel and to sit with his/her face
or chest close to it. When the airbags are activated, you or the passenger may
suffer a burn on or serious injury to the arm or face.
• Do not lean against the door and roof side. When the side airbag and curtain
airbag are activated, you may suffer a burn on or serious injury to the arm or
face.
• In models with far side airbag, do not lean more than necessary on the part of
the seat that is toward the inner-side of the vehicle. When the airbag operates, it
can cause burns and serious injury to the arms and face.
• Do not drive the vehicle with something placed between you and airbag or held
on your lap. If the airbag inflates, the objects may be thrown and hit your face.
Doing so also hinders normal activation of the airbag, which is dangerous.
• Be sure to observe the following precautions when carrying a child in the
vehicle. Otherwise the child may be fatally injured by the impact from an inflating
airbag.
- Do not drive with a child standing in front of any of the airbags, or sitting on
your lap. Doing so is dangerous because the child would receive a very strong
impact by an inflating airbag.
- Never use a rearward-facing CRS on a seat protected by an active airbag
in front of it, death or serious injury to the child can occur. The label on the
passenger side sun visor shows warning pictograms.
