SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIRBAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Airbags for both the driver and right front
passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced
Front Airbags will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Airbags are designed to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on the
severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Airbags are not expected to
reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• If the Airbag Warning Light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on
while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center
immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
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
Advanced Front Airbag deployment could cause serious injury, including
death. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your
arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains need room to inflate. Do not
lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain during
deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the airbags have deployed. If you are
involved in another collision, the airbags will not be in place to protect
you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be
prosecuted for ignoring it.
