Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System
w?)
This part explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint
(SIR)
system, or air
bag.
Your vehicle has an air bag for the driver.
Here are the most important things
to
know about the air bag system:
A
CAUTION:
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash
if
you aren’t
wearing your safety belt
-
even if you have an air bag. Wearing
your safety belt during a crash helps reduce your chance of
hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. The air
bag is only a %upplemental restraint.” That is, it works with
safety belts but doesn’t replace them. Air bags are designed to
work only in moderate to severe crashes where the front of your
vehicle hits something. They aren’t designed to inflate at
all
in
mllover, rear, side, or low-speed frontal crashes. Everyone in
your vehicle, including the driver, should wear a safety belt
properly
-
whether or not there’s an air bag for that person.?i;:?

A
CAUTION:
Air
bags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye.
If
you’re too close
to
an
inflating
air
bag, it could seriously
injure you. Safety belts help keep you in position for an
air
bag
inflation in
a
crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with an
air
bag,
and sit
as
far back as you can while still maintaining
control
of
your vehicle.
