Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

Form No. 8Q47-EA-01F

Air Bags without Seat Belts:
Depending only on the air bags for protection during an accident is dangerous. 
Alone, air bags may not prevent serious injuries. The appropriate air bags can be 
expected to inflate only during a frontal, side or near-frontal collision of at least 
moderate force. Vehicle occupants should always wear seat belts.

Child in the Front Seat:
Placing a child, 12 years or under, in the front seat is dangerous. The child could be 
hit by a deploying air bag and be seriously injured or even killed. A sleeping child is 
more likely to lean against the door and be hit by the side air bag in a moderate, right-
side collision. Whenever possible, always secure a child 12 years and under on the 
rear seat with an appropriate child-restraint system for the child's age and size.

Rear-Facing Child-Restraint System:
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on the front seat are particularly dangerous.
The child-restraint system can be hit by a deploying air bag and moved violently 
backward resulting in serious injury or death to the child. NEVER use a rear-facing 
child-restraint system in the front seat with an air bag that could deploy.

Seating Position with Front Air Bags:
Sitting too close to the air bag storage compartments or placing hands or feet on them 
is extremely dangerous. Front Air bags inflate with great force and speed. Serious 
injuries could occur if someone is too close. The driver should always hold onto only 
the rim of the steering wheel. The front seat passenger should keep both feet on the 
floor. Front seat occupants should adjust their seats as far back as possible and 
always sit upright against the seatbacks with seat belts worn properly.
