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.
All V-6 models, and the 4-cylinder EX
model with leather interior also have
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
your seat belt properly, and sit
upright and as far back as possible
from the steering wheel or
dashboard.
