SAFETY

* Option/accessory.47

WARNING
Do not squeeze box-like cargo between therear seat cushion and the front seat backrest.
If the rear seat backrests are folded down,cargo must be secured to prevent it from slid-ing forward against the front seat backrests inthe event of a collision.

WARNING
If a rear seat backrest is folded down or if arear-facing child restraint is being used in therear seat, the seat in front must be moved for-ward so that it does not come into contactwith the backrest or child restraint.

Seating position
For WHIPS to provide optimal protection, thedriver and passenger must be seated correctlyand the system's function must not be impededin any way.
Set the front seat to the correct seating positionbefore starting to drive.
The driver and the front seat passenger shouldsit in the center of the seat with their heads asclose as possible to the head restraints.

Seat belts should always be worn by all occu-pants in your vehicle. Children should be prop-erly restrained using an infant seat, adjustablechild seat or booster cushion as determined byage, weight and height.Most states and provinces make it mandatory foroccupants of a vehicle to use seat belts.
Seat belt maintenance
Check periodically that the seat belts are in goodcondition. Use water and a mild detergent forcleaning. Check the seat belt mechanism's func-tion as follows: attach the seat belt and pull rap-idly on the strap.

sors that activate the gas generators, causing theairbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.
As the movement of the seats' occupants com-presses the airbags, some of the gas is expelledat a controlled rate to provide better cushioning.Both seat belt tensioners also deploy, minimizingseat belt slack. The entire process, from inflationto deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths ofa second.
The location of the front airbags is indicated bySRS AIRBAG embossed on the steering wheelpad and above the glove compartment, and bydecals on both sun visors and on the front andfar right side of the dash.
The driver's side front airbag is folded andlocated in the steering wheel hub.
The knee airbag is folded on the underside ofthe dashboard on the driver's side. The textAIRBAG is embossed on the panel.
The passenger's side front airbag is foldedbehind a panel located above the glove compart-ment.

WARNING
•The airbags in the vehicle are designed tobe a SUPPLEMENT to-not a replacementfor-the three-point seat belts. For maxi-mum protection, wear seat belts at alltimes. Be aware that no system can pre-vent all possible injuries that may occur inan accident.
•Never drive with your hands on the steer-ing wheel pad/airbag housing.
•The front airbags are designed to helpprevent serious injury. Deployment occursvery quickly and with considerable force.During normal deployment and depend-ing on variables such as seating position,one may experience abrasions, bruises,swellings, or other injuries as a result ofdeployment of one or both of the airbags.
•When installing any accessory equipment,make sure that the front airbag system isnot damaged. Any interference in the sys-tem could cause malfunction.

Front airbag deployment
•The front airbags are designed to deploy dur-ing certain frontal or front-angular collisions,impacts, or decelerations, depending on thecrash severity, angle, speed and objectimpacted. The airbags may also deploy in
certain non-frontal collisions where rapiddeceleration occurs.
•The airbag system sensors, which trigger thefront airbags, are designed to react to boththe impact of the collision and the inertialforces generated by it, and to determine ifthe intensity of the collision is sufficient forthe seat belt tensioners and/or airbags to bedeployed.
However, not all frontal collisions activate thefront airbags.
•If the collision involves a nonrigid object (e.g.,a snow drift or bush), or a rigid, fixed objectat a low speed, the front airbags will not nec-essarily deploy.
•Front airbags do not normally deploy in aside impact collision, in a collision from therear or in a rollover situation.
•The amount of damage to the bodyworkdoes not reliably indicate if the airbagsshould have deployed or not.
