90 Seating and Safety Restraints
AIR BAG SUPPLEMENT RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (SRS)
Your MV-1 is equipped with a driver’s air bag SRS. The SRS
is designed to work with the safety belt to help protect the
driver from certain upper body injuries.
Important SRS Precautions
Air bags inflate VERY QUICKLY; there is a risk of injury
from a deploying air bag. Follow the warnings below to avoid
being injured by the air bag during a collision.
All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should
always properly wear their safety belts, even when an air bag
supplemental restraint system (SRS) is provided.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 inches (25
cm) between an occupant's chest and the driver air bag
module.
Do not put anything on or over the air bag module. Placing
objects on or over the air bag inflation area may cause those
objects to be propelled by the air bag into your face and torso
causing serious injury.
Never place your arm over the air bag module as a deploying
air bag can result in serious arm fractures or other injuries.
To properly position yourself away from the air bag:
•Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still
reaching the pedals comfortably.
•Recline the seat slightly one or two degrees from the upright
position.
Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the air bag
supplemental restraint systems or its fuses. Contact your
authorized service center as soon as possible.
Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of the vehicle
(including frame, bumper, front end body structure and tow
hooks) may affect the performance of the air bag system and
sensors, increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front
end of the vehicle.
