1-44 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system
against the seatback and as far-
away as practical from the steer-
ing wheel or instrument panel.
Always use the seat belts.
. The driver and front passenger
seat belt buckles are equipped
with sensors that detect if the
seat belts are fastened. The Ad-
vanced Air Bag System monitors
the severity of a collision and seat
belt usage then inflates the air
bags as needed. Failure to prop-
erly wear seat belts can increase
the risk or severity of injury in an
accident.
. The front passenger seat is
equipped with occupant classifi-
cation sensors (weight sensors)
that turn the front passenger air
bag and front passenger knee air
bag OFF under some conditions.
These sensors are only used in
this seat. Failure to be properly
seated and wearing the seat belt
can increase the risk or severity
of injury in an accident. See
“Front passenger air bag and
status light” (P.1-50).
. Keep hands on the outside of the
steering wheel. Placing them in-
side the steering wheel rim could
increase the risk that they are
injured if the front air bag in-
flates.
