A crash severe enough to inflate the air-
bags may break the windshield as the
vehicle buckles. In vehicles with a pas-
senger airbag the windshield may also be
damaged by absorbing some of the force
of the inflating airbag.
CAUTION
! The SRS airbag system is designed
only as a supplement to the prima-
ry protection of the driver side and
passenger side seat belt systems.
The occupants can be killed or seri-
ously injured by the inflating air-
bags if they do not wear the avail-
able seat belts properly. During
sudden braking just before a colli-
sion, an unrestrained driver or pas-
senger can move forward into direct
contact with or close proximity to
the airbag which may then deploy
during the collision. To ensure max-
imum protection in an accident, the
driver and passenger in the vehicle
must wear their seat belts properly.
Wearing a seat belt properly during
an accident reduces the chances of
death or serious injury or being
thrown out of the vehicle. For in-
structions and precautions concern-
ing the seat belt system, see “Seat
belts” on page 30 in this section.
! Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed
or seriously injured by the deploy-
ing airbags. An infant or child who
is too small to use a seat belt
should be properly secured using a
child restraint system. For instruc-
tions concerning the installation of
a child restraint system, see “Child
restraint” on page 46 in this sec-
tion.
