IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If a vehicle that has seat belts with
pretensioner and an SRS airbag system
suffers a frontal impact above certain
level, seat belts with pretensioner and
airbag (including the passenger airbag, if
equipped) securely restrain the driver and
passenger in their seats and lessen the
physical shock to their heads. To prevent
the seat belts with pretensioner and airbag
themselves from causing life-threatening
injuries, be sure to observe the following
points:
WARNING
Before driving, adjust the seat to give you a correct driving position and fasten
your seat belt. Do not sit closer than necessary to the steering wheel, and do
not lean back further than necessary. If the vehicle has a passenger airbag, the
passenger must not put his/her hands or feet on the instrument panel or sit with
his/her face or chest close to the instrument panel.
When the airbag(including the passenger airbag, if equipped) deploys, the driver
and passenger can suffer burns and other serious injuries on the arms and face.
No person riding in the vehicle should hold any object on his/her lap or otherwise
place any object between him/herself and the airbag. In the event of airbag
deployment, the object would represent a hazard because it could be propelled
toward the person's face and/or prevent normal airbag operation.
If you carry a child in the vehicle, be sure to observe the following points.
Otherwise, the force of airbag deployment could give the child life-threatening
injuries.
Do not drive the vehicle while letting the child stand in front of the passenger
airbag or while holding him/her on your lap. The child would be in danger in
either of these positions because he/she would be exposed to a powerful
physical shock in the event of airbag deployment.
Do not use a passenger seat that has a passenger airbag to carry a child who
needs a baby seat, child seat, junior seat or other seat designed specifically
for children.
If the vehicle has a passenger airbag, do not fit a baby seat, child seat or junior
seat facing rearward. If the baby seat, child seat or junior seat were facing
rearward, the shock created by deployment of the passenger airbag could inflict
life-threatening injuries on the child.
