9. Do not allow children to stand in
front of the SRS air bag or hold
children on your knees.
Refer to "Instructions on seat
belts ".
For more details of the warning,
see the following NOTE.
NOTE
1. If you fail to wear each seat belt
correctly, it will greatly increase the
possibilities of serious injuries or death
in the case of accidents, even if the SRS
air bags are equipped.
The reasons are:
• The air bags are only supplemental
restraint devices. Therefore, the air bags
alone will not support you securely in
the event of severe frontal collision.
Moreover, the air bags inflate rapidly,
and they deflate immediately. Hence,
they can not protect you from impacts
once the air bags have deflated.
• The effectiveness of SRS air bags will
not reduce serious bodily injuries which
may be caused if you do not wear each
seat belt securely or are not seated
correctly. This is because not only the
SRS air bags may fail to reduce impacts
applied to you, but also because they
may hurt you by its operation due to
improper distance between the steering
wheel, instrument panel and your body.
• When the warning light is illuminated
or flashes, there will be cases where
the SRS air bags do not operate, even
if the vehicle is subjected to severe
frontal collisions.
• The SRS air bags operate in severe
frontal collisions only.
Therefore, there are possibilities that
the SRS air bags may not operate when
low-level impacts are applied to the
sensor in the control unit, for example,
in the following cases given below:
• Frontal collision to a concrete wall
with a speed of less than 25 km/h;
• When your vehicle dives into below
the rear cargo bed of a large-sized
truck;
• When your vehicle receives impacts
from the side or rear of the vehicle;
• When your vehicle collides with an
electricity pole, etc.
• When your vehicle turns sideways
or turns over.
