Airbag system
When triggered, airbags inate
within milliseconds. They also
deate so quickly that it is often
unnoticeable during the collision.
Danger
Do not make any modications to
the airbag system.
The driver should sit back as far
as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sitting too
close to the airbag, can cause
death or serious injury when it
inates.
Always wear a seat belt.
Seat belt care
Warning
Care should be taken to avoid
contamination of the webbing
with polishes, oils and chemicals,
and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried
out using mild soap and water.
The belt should be replaced
if webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated or damaged.
Replacing seat belts
after a crash
Warning
It is essential to replace the
entire assembly after it has been
worn in a severe impact even if
damage to the assembly is not
obvious.
Seat belt use during
pregnancy
Warning
The lap belt must be positioned
as low as possible across the
pelvis to prevent pressure on the
abdomen.
Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Like all
occupants, they are more likely to be
seriously injured if they do not wear
a seat belt.
A pregnant woman should wear a
three point belt with the lap portion
of the belt worn as low as possible
below the rounding of their stomach,
throughout the pregnancy.
