Vehicle safety controls
• When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside the vehicle, do not place
it near the instrument cluster nor on the instrument panel surface. It may become
dangerous projectiles and cause injury if the passenger's air bag inflates.
• Always use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time, everyone! Air bags
inflate with considerable force and in the blink of an eye. Seat belts help keep occu
pants in proper position to obtain maximum benefit from the air bag. Even with air
bags, improperly and unbelted occupants can be severely injured when the air bag
inflates. Always follow the precautions about seat belts, air bags and occupant safe
ty contained in this manual.
• You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily close to the air
bags. Improperly positioned drivers and passengers can be severely injured by in
flating air bags.
• No objects should be placed over or near the air bag modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front passenger's panel above the glove box, because
any such object could cause harm if the vehicle is in a crash severe enough to cause
the air bags to deploy.
• A child restraint system must never be placed in the front seat. The infant or child
could be severely injured or killed by an air bag deployment in case of an accident.
• For maximum safety protection in all types of crashes, all occupants including the
driver should always wear their seat belts whether or not an air bag is also provided
at 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.
• Sitting improperly or out of position 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.
• The SRS air bag system must deploy very rapidly to provide protection in a crash. If
an occupant is out of position because of not wearing a seat belt, the air bag may
forcefully contact the occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.
• The side air bag and front centre air bag are supplemental to the driver's and the
passenger's seat belt systems and is not a substitute for them. Therefore your seat
belts must be worn at all times whilst the vehicle is in motion. The air bags de
ploy only in certain side impact or rollover conditions (Only vehicle equipped with
rollover sensor) severe enough to cause significant injury to the vehicle occupants.
• To prevent unexpected deployment of the side air bag and driver's centre air bag
that may result in personal injury, avoid impact to the side impact sensor when the
vehicle is in ON position and within approximately 3 minutes after the vehicle is in
OFF position.
• Do not hit or allow any objects to impact the locations where air bag or sensors are
installed. This may cause unexpected air bag deployment, which could result in seri
ous personal injury or death.
• If the installation location or angle of the sensors is altered in any way, the air bags
may deploy when they should not or they may not deploy when they should, caus
