Seatbelt and SRS Airbag

WARNING

.

All persons in the vehicle must

fasten their seatbelts BEFORE
the vehicle starts to move. Other-
wise, the possibility of serious
injury becomes greater in the
event of a sudden stop or acci-
dent.

.

To obtain maximum protection in

the event of an accident, the
driver and all passengers must
always wear seatbelts when in
the vehicle. The SRS (Supple-
mental Restraint System) airbag
does not do away with the need to
fasten seatbelts. In combination
with the seatbelts, it offers the
best combined protection in case
of a serious accident.

Not wearing a seatbelt increases
the chance of severe injury or
death in a crash even when the
vehicle has the SRS airbag.

.

The SRS airbags deploy with

considerable speed and force.

Occupants who are out of proper
position when the SRS airbag
deploys could suffer very serious
injuries. Because the SRS airbag
needs enough space for deploy-
ment, the driver should always sit
upright and well back in the seat
as far from the steering wheel as
practical while still maintaining
full vehicle control and the front
passenger should move the seat
as far back as possible and sit
upright and well back in the seat.

For instructions and precautions, carefully
read the following sections.
.

For the seatbelt system, refer to “Seat-

belts” FP46.
.

For the SRS airbag system, refer to

“SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint
System Airbag)” FP75.

Child Safety

WARNING

.

Never hold a child on your lap or

in your arms while the vehicle is
moving. The passenger cannot
protect the child from injury in a
collision, because the child will
be caught between the passen-
