SRS/Airbag
46
WARNING
Following inflation, some SRS/airbag
components are hot - DO NOT touch until
they have cooled.
Even with SRS/airbag equipment fitted, seat
belts must ALWAYS be worn because:
• An airbag will only provide additional
protection in certain types of frontal
collisions. NO protection is afforded
against the effects of side or rear
impacts, roll over accidents, or minor
frontal impacts.
• Inflation and deflation take place
instantaneously and will not provide
protection against the effects of
secondary impacts that can occur during
multiple vehicle collisions.
WARNING
The airbag module inflates with
considerable speed and force. For your
safety:
An inflating airbag can cause facial
abrasions and other injuries. The injurious
affects of airbag inflation can be minimised,
by ensuring driver and passenger are seated
correctly, with the seat moved back as far as
is practical, and the seat belts worn
correctly.
NEVER attach accessory items to an airbag
module cover, or place items of hand
luggage or any objects on the top of a
module cover; these could interfere with the
inflation of the airbag, or if the airbag
inflates, be propelled inside the vehicle
causing injury to the occupants.
DO NOT allow occupants to obstruct the
operation of the airbag modules by placing
their feet, knees or any part of their person
in contact with, or close to, an airbag
module while the vehicle is moving.
Activation of an airbag creates dust, causing
possible breathing difficulties for asthma
suffers or other people with respiratory
problems. If an airbag is activated, any
occupant who suffers from breathing
difficulties should; either leave the vehicle
as quickly as possible, or obtain fresh air by
fully opening the windows or doors.
Both front seating positions are equipped
with knee bolsters to provide knee
protection in the event of an impact. DO NOT
modify the bolsters, or mount after market
equipment on or behind them.
