Knowing your vehicle
What your airbag system does
Driver’s airbag and front passenger’s
airbag are designed to supplement
the protection offered by the safety
belt in certain frontal collision.
Likewise, Side airbag and curtain
airbag are designed to supplement
the protection offered by the safety
belt in side collision. Safety belts are
designed to reduce the injury of the
driver or passengers in case of light
impact or collision. However, if the
impact of driver or passengers can-
not be reduced only by the seat belts
in a serious collision, airbags are
installed to reduce the injury on the
face and chest.
What your airbag system does
not do
The air bag system is designed to
supplement the protection offered by
the safety belt system. IT IS NOT A
SUBSTITUTE FOR THE SAFETY
BELT.
The importance of using
safety belts
There are four very important rea-
sons to use safety belts even with an
airbag supplemental restraint sys-
tem. They:
• help keep you in the proper posi-
tion (away from the airbag) when it
inflates.
• reduce the risk of harm in rollover,
side impact (vehicles not equipped
with side and curtain airbags) or
rear impact collisions, because an
airbag is not designed to inflate in
such situations and even a side
curtain airbag is designed to inflate
only in certain side impact colli-
sions.
• reduce the risk of harm in frontal or
side collisions which are not
severe enough to actuate the
airbag supplemental restraint sys-
tem.
• reduce the risk of being thrown
from your vehicle.

NOTICE -
Recording device
(If equipped)
Your vehicle’s Supplemental
Restraint System Control Module is
equipped with a recording device
that may record the use or status of
the seat belt restraint system by the
driver and front passenger in cer-
tain collisions.
