their seating position to minimise
the risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash. Do not sit
or lean unnecessarily close to the
air bag whilst the vehicle is in
motion.
䳜 Sitting improperly or out of posi

tion can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash. All occupants
should sit upright with the seat
back in an upright position, centre
on the seat cushion with their
seat belt on, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the
floor until the vehicle is parked
and the ignition key is removed.
䳜 The SRS air bag system must
deploy very rapidly to provide
protection in a crash. If an occu

pant is out of position because of
not wearing a seat belt, the air
bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal
injuries.

mobile phone holder, cup holder,
perfume or stickers) should be
placed over or near the air bag mod

the front passenger's panel above
the glove box. Such objects could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause the
air bags to deploy. Do not place any
objects over the air bag or between
the air bag and yourself.

air bag in each front seat.
