What your airbag system does
Driver’s airbag and front passenger’s
airbag are designed to supplement
the protection offered by the safety
belt in certain frontal collisions.
Likewise, side airbag and curtain
airbags (if equipped) 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.
However, to help reduce impact on
driver or passengers in a serious col-
lision, seat belts must also be cor-
rectly worn.
What your airbag system does
not do
The air bag system is designed to
supplement the protection offered by
the safety belt system. IT IS NOT A
SUBSTITUTE FOR THE SAFETY
BELT.
The importance of using
safety belts
There are four very important rea-
sons to use safety belts even with an
airbag supplemental restraint sys-
tem. They:
• help keep you in the proper posi-
tion (away from the airbag) when it
inflates.
• reduce the risk of harm in rollover,
side impact (vehicles not equipped
with side and curtain airbags) or
rear impact collisions, because an
airbag is not designed to inflate in
such situations and even a side
curtain airbag is designed to inflate
only in certain side impact colli-
sions.
• reduce the risk of harm in frontal or
side collisions which are not
severe enough to actuate the
airbag supplemental restraint sys-
tem.
• reduce the risk of being thrown
from your vehicle.
