General Safety Precautions

WARNING

This vehicle has an air bag system. Read these cautions before servicing or disassembling underhood components. Read this "SRS" section for important instructions.

Improper service procedures can result in the air bag firing or becoming inoperative, possibly leading to injury.

CAUTION

This vehicle has air bags for front occupants as a supplemental restraint system (SRS).

You must always wear your seatbelt, even with an air bag: Air bags are not designed to inflate in rollovers or in rear, side or low-speed frontal crashes. Air bags inflate powerfully and in a moment. If you're too close to an inflating air bag, it could seriously injure you. Seatbelts help keep you in position for air bag inflation in a crash. An inflating air bag can seriously injure small children. A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be badly injured by an inflating air bag, so never use a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat of this vehicle: a rear-facing child restraint should be used only in the rear seat. Use a forward-facing child restraint with the front passenger seat as far back as possible, or in the rear seat.

Before driving, read label inside the glove box; if the "SRS" light comes on while you are driving, or does not come on when you first start the vehicles, see your dealer for service.

Driver's air bag information

This vehicle has an air bag which will supplement the seatbelt in certain frontal collisions. The air bag is not a substitute for the seatbelt in any type of collision. The driver, and all other occupants, should wear seatbelts at all times.

WARNING!

If the "SRS" warning light does not illuminate for several seconds when ignition key is turned to "ON" or the engine is started, or if the warning light stays on while driving, take the vehicle to your nearest authorized dealer immediately. Also if the vehicle's front end is damaged or if the air bag has deployed.

Take the vehicle for service immediately.

The air bag system must be inspected by an authorized dealer ten years after the vehicle manufacture date shown on the certification label located on the left front door-latch post or door frame.

Read the "SRS" section of your owner's manual before driving, for important information, about operation, and service of the air bag system. When you are going to discard your gas generator or vehicle, please see your dealer.
