Chrysler 2008 PT Cruiser - Manual (Page 96)

WARNING!
• Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more
severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work
with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In
some collisions the airbags won’t deploy at all.
Always wear your seat belts even though you have
airbags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel during front airbag deployment could cause
serious injury. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit
back, comfortably extending your arms to reach
the steering wheel or instrument panel.
• If the vehicle has Head/Thorax airbags, they also
need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door.
Sit upright in the center of the seat.
The front airbag system consists of the following:
• Occupant Restraint Controller
• Side Remote Acceleration Sensors (If Equipped)
• Airbag Warning Light
• Driver Airbag
• Passenger Airbag
• Front Seat Mounted Head/Thorax Airbags (if
equipped)
• Steering Wheel and Column
• Instrument Panel
• Driver and Front Passenger Knee Impact Blockers
• Front Acceleration Sensors
• Driver and Front Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioners
• Passenger Airbag Disable (PAD) Indicator Light
