Your Car's Safety Features
Airbags
Yqur car has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with frontal
airbags to help protect the driver and
a front seat passenger.
This system also includes
an indicator light on the
instrument panel to alert you to a
possible problem with the system.
The most important things you need
to know about your airbags are:
Airbags do not replace seat belts.
The seat belts are the occupants'
primary protection in all types of
collisions. The airbags supplement
the seat belts by providing extra
protection for the head and chest
of each front seat occupant in a
moderate to severe frontal
collision.
Airbags offer no protection in side
impacts, rear impacts, rollovers,
or minor collisions. Airbags are
designed to deploy only during a
moderate to severe frontal
collision.
Airbags can pose serious hazards.
To do their job, airbags must
inflate with tremendous force and
speed. So while airbags save lives,
they can cause serious injuries to
adults and larger children who are
not wearing seat belts, are not
wearing them properly, are sitting
too close to the airbag, or are not
sitting in a proper position. Infants
and small children are at an even
greater risk of injury or death.
What you should do: Always wear
your seat belt properly, and sit
upright and as far back as possible
from the steering wheel or
dashboard.
