Your Car's Safety Features
Airbags
Your car has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with front
airbags to help protect the heads and
chests of the driver and a front seat
passenger during a moderate to
severe frontal collision.
Your car also has side airbags to help
protect the upper torso of the driver
or a front seat passenger during a
moderate to severe side impact.
The most important things you need
to know about your airbags are:
• Airbags do not replace seat belts.
They are designed to supplement
the seat belts.
• Airbags offer no protection in rear
impacts, rollovers, or minor
frontal or side collisions.
• Airbags can pose serious hazards.
To do their job, airbags must
inflate with tremendous force and
speed. So while airbags help save
lives, they can cause minor injuries,
or more serious or even fatal
injuries if occupants are not
properly restrained or sitting
properly.
What you should do
: Always wear
yo
ur seat belt properly, and sit
upright and as far back as possible
from the steering wheel or
dashboard.
