This supplemental restraint system section contains important information concerning the driver and passenger supplemental air bags. The supplemental restraint system air bags can help reduce impact force to the
driver and front passenger in certain frontal collisions. The supplemental air bags are designed to supplement the crash protection provided by the driver and front passenger seat belts and are not a substitute for
them. Seat belts should always be correctly worn and the driver and front passenger seated a suitable distance away from the steering wheel and instrument panel. See ‘‘Seat belts’’ for instructions and precautions
on seat belt usage later in this section.

WARNING

The supplemental air bags ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a side
impact, rear impact, roll over, or lower severity frontal collision. Always
wear your seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity of injury in various kinds of accidents.

The seat belts and the supplemental air bags are most effective when you are sitting well back and upright in the seat. Supplemental air bags inflatewith great force. If you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting sideways or out of position in any way, you are at greater risk of injury or death in a crash and may also receive serious or fatal injuries from the supplemental air bag if you are up against it when it inflates. Always sit back against the seatback and as far away as practical from the steering wheel or instrument panel. Always use the seat belts.

Keep hands on the outside of the steering wheel. Placing them inside
the steering wheel rim could increase the risk that they are injured when the
supplemental air bag inflates.
