AIR BAG OPERATION [G2283690]

WARNING:

Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See AIR BAG SAFETY.

The air bag Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) inflates instantaneously, and cannot provide protection in secondary or some other types of impact. Under these circumstances, the only protection is provided by a correctly worn seat belt.

The air bag SRS is not designed to operate as a result of:

  1. Every front impact
  2. Every side impact
  3. Rear impacts
  4. Heavy braking
  5. Driving over bumps and potholes
NOTE:

Air bag deployment is dependent on the rate at which the passenger compartment changes velocity following a collision. Circumstances affecting different collisions, vehicle speed, angle of impact, type and size of object hit, etc. vary considerably and affect the rate of vehicle deceleration accordingly.
