Your Car's Safety Features

Airbags

Your car has a Supplemental

Restraint System (SRS) with front

airbags to help protect the heads and

chests of the driver and a front seat

passenger during a moderate to

severe frontal collision.

All V6 models and 4-cylinder EX model

are standard and DX, LX models are

optional

Your car also has side airbags to help

protect the upper torso of the driver

or a front seat passenger during a

moderate to severe side impact.

The most important things you need

to know about your airbags are:

Airbags do not replace seat belts.

They are designed to supplement

the seat belts.

Airbags offer no protection in rear

impacts, rollovers, or minor

frontal or side collisions.

Airbags can pose serious hazards.

To do their job, airbags must

inflate with tremendous force and

speed. 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.

What you should do: Always wear

your seat belt properly, and sit

upright and as far back as possible

from the steering wheel or

dashboard.
