light could signifythat the airbags may
not inflate in a crash, or they could
even inflate without a crash.

•
Even if the car is equipped with an
SRS (airbag), safety belts must still
always be worn by all occupants.
Note that because an airbag inflates
and deflates extremely rapidly, it will
not provide protection against a
second impact occurring in the same
incident. Always use your safety belt.

retardation and
sends a signal via
the control module to
a gas generator that
inflates the airbag.
•
Always sit with the whole of your back
incontactwiththebackrestoftheseat,
and with your seat as far back as is
practical. This is to reduce the risk of
injuryfromcontactwiththebackrestof

wheel or passenger side of the instru-
ment panel, as this could result in
