Knowing your vehicle
What your air bag system does
The importance of using
safety belts
There are four very important  reasons to
use safety belts even with an air bag sup-
plemental restraint system. They:
Your vehicle’s Supplemental Restraint
System  Control  Module  is  equipped
with   a  recording   device   that   may
record the use  or status of  the safety
belt restraint system by the driver and
front passenger in certain collisions.
Driver’s air bag and front passenger’s air
bag are designed to supplement the pro-
tection offered  by the  safety belt  in cer-
tain  frontal collisions.  Likewise,  side air
bag and curtain air bags are designed to
supplement  the protection offered by the
safety belt in  side collisions. Safety belts
are designed  to reduce the  injury of the
driver  or   passengers  in  case   of  light
impact or  collision. No  safety belt  or air
bag  system   can  completely   eliminate
injuries  that  may cause  in  collisions  or
impacts. To help reduce impact on driver
or  passengers  in   any  collision,  safety
belts must be correctly worn.
help  keep you  in  the  proper  position
(away from the air bag) when it inflates.
WARNING - Air  bags &
safety belts
reduce the risk of harm in rollover, side
impact   (vehicles  not   equipped  with
side  and   curtain   air  bags)   or  rear
impact collisions, because an air bag is
not  designed to  inflate  in such  situa-
tions and even a side curtain air bag is
designed to inflate  only in certain side
impact collisions.
•  Even  in  vehicles  with   air  bags,
you  and  your  passengers   must
always wear  the safety belts pro-
vided in order to minimize the risk
and severity of injury in the event
of a collision or rollover.
•  Always  wear  your  safety  belt. It
can help keep  you away from the
air  bags   during   heavy  braking
just before a collision. It may also
reduce the risk  of occupant ejec-
tion.
•  If occupants are not wearing safe-
ty belts  or correctly  seated, they
cannot   be  fully   protected,  and
thus face a greater risk of serious
injury or death.
reduce  the  risk of  harm  in  frontal  or
side  collisions  which  are  not  severe
enough to  actuate the air  bag supple-
mental restraint system.
What your air bag system does
not do
The air  bag system  is designed  to sup-
plement  the   protection  offered  by  the
safety belt system. IT IS NOT A SUBSTI-
TUTE FOR THE SAFETY BELT.
•  reduce  the risk  of being  ejected from
your vehicle.
