2.
Fasten the belt by pushing the link end into the
buckle until they latch. Make sure that the belt is
not twisted. Check the engagement by trying to
pull the link out of the buckle. If they come apart,
repeat this step. If the problem continues, re-
place the belt. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the
other two belts located in the middle and upper
portion of the bunk to lock the restraint in place.
3.
To release the bunk restraint, push the release
button on the buckle at the head of the bunk and
pull the link from the buckle.
Repeat this step for the other two buckles to
completely release the bunk restraint.
Supplemental Restraint
System, Optional
The supplemental restraint system can consist of an
air bag and SPACE system, or an air bag only sys-
tem. Your vehicle may or may not have a supple-
mental restraint system.
Air Bag, Optional
The air bag, when used with seat belts, provides ad-
ditional protection to the driver in severe frontal colli-
sions. The operational readiness of the air bag sys-
tem is indicated by the supplemental restraint system
(SRS) indicator on the dash. The SRS indicator
comes on when the engine is started and then goes
off. The indicator will remain on if there is a problem
with the air bag system. The vehicle should be ser-
viced if the SRS indicator does not come on when
the engine is started or if the SRS indicator remains
on.
WARNING
Air bags are designed to inflate only in severe
frontal collisions. The driver and the passenger
should always wear seat belts. For maximum pro-
tection in a collision or rollover, always be in a
normal seated position with your back against
the seat back and your head upright. Fasten your
seat belt and ensure that it is properly positioned
on your body as described under the "Seat Belt
Operation" heading. Since the air bag inflates
with considerable speed and force, a proper seat
position will keep you a safe distance from the
inflating air bag.
Do not place objects on the steering wheel or be-
tween you and the steering wheel. Keep your
hands on the sides and lower portion of the
steering wheel. Any objects may cause harm dur-
ing an accident.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
death or personal injury.
Air Bag Safety Guidelines
The air bag system contains components that use
combustible chemicals. Because these chemicals are
combustible, care must be taken when replacing or
handling system components.
WARNING
Consider undeployed air bags to be dangerous
and capable of deploying at any time. Do not at-
tempt to service the air bag system unless
trained to do so. Damaged air bag systems
should be examined by qualified personnel be-
fore any attempt is made to remove or to deploy
the air bag. All intentional deployments and test-
ing of the system should be performed by trained
personnel. Unintentional or improper air bag de-
ployment could cause severe bodily injury or
death.
Do not attempt to disassemble the air bag inflator
unit or breach the integrity of the sealed metallic
inflator case. Doing so could cause severe bodily
injury or death.
Do not allow system chemicals to contact other
liquids, combustibles, and flammable materials.
Doing so could cause chemical burns or per-
sonal injury.
The surface of the deployed air bag may contain
small amounts of sodium hydroxide (which is a
by-product of the gas generant combustion) and
metallic sodium. Sodium hydroxide may be irri-
tating to the skin and eyes. Always wear rubber
gloves and safety glasses when handling a de-
ployed air bag. Immediately wash your hands and
exposed skin areas with a mild soap and water.
Flush your eyes immediately if exposed to so-
dium hydroxide.
Review and comply with the following list of
warnings. Failure to do so could result in severe
injury or death.
