SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(
Models equipped with
driver and front passenger
air bags
)
This
Supplemental
Restraint
System
section
contains
important information concerning
the driver and passenger air bags.
The
Supplemental
Restraint
System Air Bag can help reduce
impact force to the driver in
certain frontal collisions. The air
bag is designed to supplement
the crash protection provided by
the driver seat belt and is not a
substitute for it. The seat belts
should always be correctly worn
and the driver seated a suitable
distance from the steering wheel.
(See “Seat belts” for instructions
and precautions on seat belt
usage.)
The air bag works when the
ignition key is on the
“
on
”
or
“
start
”
position .
