Your Car's Safety Features

Airbags

Your car has a Supplemental

Restraint System (SRS) with frontal
airbags to help protect the driver and
a 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. Airbags supplement
seat belts by providing extra
protection for occupants' heads
and chests.

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.
