Of course, seat belts cannot
completely protect you in every
crash. But in most cases, seat belts
can reduce your risk of serious
injury.
Always wear your seat belt, and
make sure you wear it properly.
Your vehicle has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with frontal
airbags to help protect the heads and
chests of the driver and a passenger
during a moderate to severe frontal
collision (see page
for more
information on how your airbags
work).
The most important things you need

They are designed to supplement
the seat belts.
To do
their job, airbags must inflate with
tremendous force. So while
airbags help save lives, they can
cause minor injuries or more
serious or even fatal injuries if
occupants are not properly
restrained or sitting properly.
