Seats and Restraints
The important notes about the air bag
system are as follows:
{
Danger
You can be severely injured or killed in a
crash if you are not wearing your seat
belt, even with airbags. Airbags are
designed to work with seat belts, not
replace them. Also, airbags are not
designed to inflate in every crash. In
some crashes seat belts are the only
restraint.
Wearing your seat belt during a crash
helps reduce your chance of hitting
things inside the vehicle or being ejected
from it. Airbags are
“
supplemental
restraints
”
to the seat belts. Everyone in
the vehicle should wear a seat belt
properly, whether or not there is an
airbag for that person.
{
Danger
Do not let a child, infant, pregnant
woman, or the sick and weak sit on the
front seat equipped with an air bag.
(Continued)
Danger (Continued)
Never install a backward-facing child seat
on the front seat. The child may be
seriously injured or killed when an air
bag is inflated. The seat belt and air bag
can protect adults and adolescents but
not children and infants. Children and
infants need special child protection
devices, such as a child seat, to get
corresponding protection.
Air Bag Indicator
On the instrument panel, there is an air bag
indicator which displays the air bag symbol.
The system will check whether the air bag
circuit system has a fault and the indicator
will tell you if there is a problem. Refer to
