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 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
impact or collision. No safety belt or
airbag system can completely elimi-
nate injuries that may cause in colli-
sions or impacts. To help reduce
impact on driver or passengers in
any collision, safety belts must be
correctly worn.
