THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 47

DRIVER’S AIRBAG
The driver’s airbag is located within the padded center
of the steering wheel.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury when the front airbag
inflates, it is very important for the driver to al-
ways be in a properly seated position and to wear
the seat belt. Since the airbag inflates with consid-
erable speed and force, a proper seating position
with hands on the steering wheel will help to
keep you in a safe distance from the airbag. Keep
hands on the outside of the steering wheel rim.
Placing hands and arms inside the rim can in-
crease the risk and the potential severity of hand/
arm injury when the driver front airbag inflates.
