Occupant protection has been the focus

of much private and public research anddevelopment for many years. The seatbelts are incorporated into the vehiclesolely for the protection of theoccupants. The safety belts can protectyou and your passengers only if they areused.The safety belt information includedhere is intended for vehicle occupantsof adult size and for older children who

have outgrown booster seats.Be sure that if children are too small tobe well restrained by the safety beltsystem, that they are secured in anappropriate child restraint.

ALWAYS WEAR YOURSAFETY BELTS

Safety belts are helpful for several

distinct reasons:1) Safety belts attach the occupants to

the vehicle so that they will not beejected during an accident.

2) Safety belts attach the occupants tothe vehicle so that they can use thespace between their pre-crashseating position and the front of thevehicle to slow down to a stop more

gradually, as their safety beltsstretch and the front end of thevehicle absorbs the energy of thecrash by crumpling.

3) Safety belts keep the driver in hisseat, so that the driver might have achance to regain control in certainaccident situations.

4) Safety belts keep occupants frombeing catapulted into and injuringthe driver and other occupants.

Why Wear Safety Belts?


28/208

24 Seats and Restraints

Warning

Safety belts have been shown tobe the single most effectiveprotection against injury or deathin an accident!

As the owner and driver of yourvehicle, you must make certainthat each occupant is properlywearing the safety belt provided at

the seating position. Pregnant women, injured, and

phys ical ly impaired personsshould also wear safety belts. Likeall other occupants, they are morelikely to suffer serious injury ordeath, if they do not do so.

The best way to protect the foetusis to protect the mother.

Warning

Why safety belts work, how towear them, and how to adjust yourseat position properly, is explainedin this section. Read all of theinformation provided and alwaysobserve these instructions andwarnings in order to gain the fullbenefit of these safety systems.

Safety belts cannot work unless they areworn and worn properly.

Vehicle occupants are injured if theforces applied to the bodys structuresare greater than the body can toleratewithout being injured. If a personsbody is stopped abruptly, the forcesapplied to the body will be high,whereas if the body is slowed downgradually over some distance, the

forces will be much lower. Thus, inorder to protect an occupant from injuryin a crash, the idea is to give the personas much time and distance as possible incoming to a stop.

Imagine a person running at 15 milesper hour (25 km/h) head first into aconcrete wall. Imagine a second personrunning at 15 miles per hour (25 km/h)

into a wall covered by a 3-feet (90 cm)thick deformable cushion. In the firstinstance the person could be seriouslyinjured or even killed. In the second, therunner could expect to walk away

How Safety Belts Work?


29/208


uninjured. Why? In the first instance,the body hit the non-yielding concrete

surface and stopped immediately. All ofthe energy the sprinter built up wasabsorbed by the structures of the body,not by the non-yielding concretesurface. In the second example, thebody had exactly the same amount ofenergy that had to be absorbed as in thefirst example, but it continued to moveinto the padding, giving the bodyadditional time and distance to slow

down to a complete stop as the paddingabsorbed the sprinters energy bydeforming.

If a car crashes into a concrete wall at 30miles per hour (50 km/h), the frontbumper of the car stops immediately,but the passenger compartment stopsmore gradually as the front structure ofthe vehicle crumples. The beltedoccupant is held to the seat and gainsthe advantage of the cushion providedby the crumpling of the front of thevehicle and the stretching of the safetybelt webbing. That belted occupantsbody slows down from 30 mph

(50 km/h) to zero over a distance of 90-120 cm (3-4 feet). That belted occupant

also remains properly positioned sothat, if the air bag (if provided) deploysin a frontal collision, the occupantmight never strike any rigid structuresin the vehicle. The unbelted occupantreceives no such benefit. The unbeltedperson is not attached to the vehicle andso that person continues to travel at thevehicles pre-crash speed of 30 milesper hour (50 km/h) until striking a hard

object at approximately 30 miles perhour (50 km/h) and stopping abruptly.Even in a frontal collision in which theair bag (if provided) deploys, theunbelted front seat occupant remains atgreater risk of serious injury or deaththan the properly restrained front seatoccupant.

Warning

SAFETY BELTS PROTECT

Accident statistics show that driversand passengers properly wearingsafety belts have a lower risk ofbeing injured and a higher chance ofsurviving an accident. For thisreason, wearing a safety belt islegally required in most countries.

WEARING THE SAFETY BELT

Each front seat and each outboardrear seat of your CHEVROLET veh-icle is equipped with a three-pointsafety belt system that is anchored atthree locations. All front and rear seatbelts are stored and locked by aretractor mechanism. When set in itsnormal emergency locking mode, thethree-point safety belt requires nolength adjustment and allows

freedom of movement when thevehicle moves at constant speeds.

(Continued)


30/208

Warning

However in a sudden or strong stop,or during heavy acceleration ordeceleration, the safety belt will lockautomatically to restrain the body.

In order to gain the full benefit of asafety belt, you must wear itcorrectly and position yourselfcorrectly within your seat, asfollows:

Seatback upright (not reclined, toprevent you from submariningor slipping out from under thesafety belt, and injuring vulnera-ble body parts in a crash).

Occupant sitting upright (notslouched, to properly position thelap and shoulder portions of thesafety belt for maximum restraintand minimum injury to soft and

vulnerable parts of your body in acrash).

(Continued)

Warning

Safety belt latch plate and bucklesecurely fastened with a click(ifthe safety belt is not securelylatched, it cannot provide anyprotection; pull on the belt tomake sure it is secure).

Lap portion of safety belt snug andlow on hips and bony pelvis (notabdomen where the restraining beltcould cause serious injury in a crash

THIS IS PARTICULARLYIMPORTANT FOR PREGNANTWOMEN).

Shoulder portion of the safetybelts over your outside shoulderand snug against the chest (notunder an arm, around your neck,over an inside shoulder or behindyour back, and not loose with

slack allowing excessive forwardmovement and injury in a crash).

(Continued)

Warning

Only one occupant per one safetybelt (do not allow more than oneperson in a safety belt; multiplepeople in a single safety belt canexceed the capacity of the safetybelts and people sharing a safetybelt can cause crushing and otherinjuries to each other in a crash).

Children in secure child seats (in acrash the forces are too great for an

adult to hold onto a child and theadult will crush the child if theyshare the same safety belt).

No unbelted occupants (occu-pants not wearing a safety belt arean injury threat to themselves andto other occupants in the vehiclebecause in a crash they become afree-flying body that will strike

other persons in their path).

(Continued)



31/208


Warning

No twisted safety belts (twistedsafety belts will not move freelyand restrain properly and can cutinto the occupants rather thanspread the force, thus increasingthe risk of injury and death).

Lock doors (unlocked doorsincrease the risk of injury anddeath from external impacts andejection in a crash).

Warning

Make periodic checks (whileriding in the vehicle, check fromtime to time to be sure that the lapportion of the belt is snugly acrossthe hips and has not ridden uparound the waist and that theshoulder portion is midway overthe shoulder and across the chest;properly positioned belts allowthe stronger structures of the hips

and shoulders to absorb the forcesof the belt against the body, whileimproperly positioned belts maycause neck injury or injury to thevulnerable organs in the abdomi-nal area).

No hard or breakable objects,between safety belts and bodyparts (objects such as pens,glasses, etc. in the occupants

pocket or on the cloth can causeinjury in the event of a collision).

(Continued)

Warning

Improper use of a safety belt cancause serious injury. Do notmodify the safety belt. Do not addany device which would affect theoperation of the safety belt.

Before you close the door, makesure the safety belt is out of theway. Otherwise, the belt and/or thevehicle body could be damaged.

Warning

If the safety belt goes over an armrest(if so equipped), lap portion of thesafety belt could force the occupantsabdomen, not the bony pelvis, in acollision.

Be sure that the safety belt goesunder the armrest.

Failure to follow this can result ininjuries or even death in case of acollision.


32/208


Each front seat is equipped withadjustable seat and seatback with

height-adjustable head restraint andthree point lap-and-shoulder safetybelts.

REAR SEAT OCCUPANTS

The rear seat is equipped with twooutboard seating positions featuringthree-point lap-and-shoulder safetybelts and a center seat equipped with alap safety belt.

THREE-POINT SAFETYBELTS

To help reduce the risk of personal injuryin collisions or sudden manoeuvres,your CHEVROLET vehicle is equippedwith three-point safety belts. The twofront seats and the two outboard rearseating positions are each equippedwith three-point safety belts. These

safety belts are each anchored in threelocations to restrain passengers who areproperly positioned and wearing thesafety belt.

FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS

A three-point safety belt set in the ELR /WLR (Emergency Locking Retractor /

Webbing Locking Retractor) moderequires no length adjustment andallows the freedom of body movementwhen the vehicle moves at a constantspeed.

However, in the event of a sudden orstrong stop, or during heavy accelerationor deceleration, the safety belt will lockautomatically to restrain the body.

Always fasten your safety beltscorrectly:

1. Close and lock the doors.2. Make sure seatback is upright.

3. Pick up the safety belt latch plateand use it to pull the belt across yourbody. Make sure the belt is nottwisted. If the safety belt locks asyou are pulling it out, allow it torewind into the retractor. Pull thesafety belt out again to a comfor-

table and secure length.


33/208


4. Position the shoulder belt midwayover the shoulder and across the

chest. Never place the shoulder beltacross the neck. This assures that inthe case of a collision, the beltapplies force to the shoulder bonesand keeps the impact away fromribs or neck, helping to avoidserious internal injuries.

5. Wear the lap belt low and snug onthe hips, not the waist. This assuresthat in the case of a collision, thebelt applies force to the pelvicbones and not the abdomen, helpingto avoid serious injuries.

6. Push the latch plate firmly into thebuckle until the mechanism clicks.

Make sure you are using the properbuckle. Be sure to position therelease button on the buckle so youcan unbuckle the safety belt quicklyif necessary.

7. Pull up on the latch plate to makesure it is secure.

To remove the safety belt, press therelease button on the buckle. The

belt will retract automatically.Guide the safety belt as it retracts toprevent the latch plate fromdamaging interior surfaces orinjuring occupants.

Maintain your safety belts:

1. Periodically inspect all safety belts,

related parts, and assemblies. Havethese replaced by your CHEVROLETretailer if any safety belts, assemblies orrelated parts are damaged.

2. You must replace any safety belt orrelated part that has been stretched ordamaged in an accident, even if thestretching or damage is not obviousor visible. Stretched belts anddamaged parts do not performeffectively. Replacement of safetybelts must be with new belts only.

It is dangerous to operate yourvehicle with damaged safety beltsor other parts.

Failure to make appropriate repairsmay result in additional damage toyour vehicle or personal injuries.

PREGNANT WOMEN ANDSAFETY BELTS

Safety belts work for everyone,including pregnant women.

Like all occupants, pregnant women aremore likely to be seriously injured ifthey do not wear safety belts. Inaddition, when a safety belt is wornproperly, it is more likely that theunborn child will be safe in a crash.

To provide maximum protection, apregnant woman should wear a three-point safety belt. She should wear thelap portion of the belt as low as possibleacross the pelvis to prevent pressure onthe abdomen throughout her pregnancy.

AIR BAG SYSTEM*

Your vehicle is equipped with an air bagSupplemental Restraint System (SRS)designed to protect properly seated andrestrained front seat occupants. Boththe driver and front passenger seatingpositions are equipped with driver andpassenger air bags in addition to three-point safety belts and other safetyfeatures. Each air bag is speciallypacked in a module, from which the airbag is designed to inflate and deploy atextremely high speed and force in theevent your vehicle is involved in certaintypes of collisions which pose a highrisk of serious injury or death to thedriver and passengers.


Safety belts are only designed for useby one person at a time. They are notsuitable for people younger than 12years of age or smaller than 150 cm(5ft).

Periodically check all parts of the beltsystem for damage and properfunctionality.

Have damaged components replaced.After an accident, have the belts

replaced by a CHEVROLET retailer.Note

Make sure that the belts are notdamaged by shoes or sharp-edgedobjects. Prevent dirt from gettinginto the belt retractors.

Safety belt reminder . See Safety beltreminderon page 59.

SAFETY BELTS

The belts are locked during heavyacceleration or deceleration of thevehicle for the safety of the occupants.

Warning

Fasten safety belt before each trip.

In the event of an accident, people notwearing safety belts endanger theirfellow occupants and themselves.



40/208

Danger

Never allow children or infants andpregnant women and the old and theweak sit in the front passenger seatsfitted with airbags.

Furthermore, do not drive with a babyseat fitted thereon. In case of anaccident, the impact from the inflatedairbag can cause facial injury ordeath.

Caution

If the vehicle is impacted by bumpsor objects on unpaved roads orsidewalks, the air bag may inflate.Drive slowly on the surfaces notdesigned for vehicle traffic toprevent unintended air bag deploy-ment.

Control indicator for airbag systems.SeeAirbag warning lighton page 59.


Warning

If handled improperly the airbagsystems can be triggered in anexplosive manner.

The driver should sit back as far aspossible while stil l maintainingcontrol of the vehicle. If you aresitting too close to the airbag, it cancause death or serious injury when itinflates.

For maximum safety protection in all

types of crashes, all occupantsincluding the driver should alwayswear their safety belts to minimizethe risk of severe injury or death inthe event of a crash. Do not sit or leanunnecessarily close to the airbagwhile the vehicle is in motion.

The air bag may cause facial or bodyscratch, injury by broken glasses orgetting a burn by explosion while airbag is deployed.

Warning

The airbag system control electro-nics are located in the center consolearea. Do not put any magnetic objectsin this area.Do not stick anything on the airbagcovers and do not cover them withother materials.Each airbag is triggered only once.Have deployed airbags replaced by aCHEVROLET retailer.

Do not make any modifications to theairbag system as this will invalidatethe vehicle type approval.In the event of airbag deploymenthave the steering wheel, theinstrument panel, all paneling parts,the door seals, the handles and theseats removed by a CHEVROLETretailer.When an air bag deploys, there may

be a loud noise and smoke. Theseconditions are normal and are notdangerous but in case it may irritateskin of the passenger. If the irritationis continued, contact a doctor.

How Air Bags Work?

Air bags are designed to keep your

head, neck, and chest from slamminginto the instrument panel, steeringwheel or windshield in a front-endcrash. They are not designed to inflatein rear-end or rollover crashes or inmost side-impact crashes. Your air bagsare designed to deploy in crashes thatare equivalent to, or exceed the force ofa vehicle traveling at a speed of 15 to23 km/h (9.3 ~ 14.3 mph) crashing into

a solid immovable wall.The air bag system activates during asevere collision which is either frontalor when the impact angle is up to 30from straight ahead.


Warning

Air bags are only a supplementalrestraint, and are most effective incombination with safety belts.

All occupants, including the driver,should always wear their safety belts,whether or not an air bag is alsoprovided at their seating position, tominimize the risk of severe injury ordeath in the event of a crash.

Air bags do not deploy in side or

rear collisions. Occupants notwearing their safety belts will notbe protected by any restraintsystem, resulting in severe injuriesor death in these types ofcollisions.

Occupants who are not properlywearing their safety belts may bethrown forward by braking beforeimpact, placing their bodies nearor against the air bag modules.This can cause severe injury fromthe force of an air bags deploy-ment.

Front Airbag System

The front airbag system consists of oneairbag in the steering wheel and one inthe instrument panel on the frontpassenger side. These can be identifiedby the word AIRBAG.

The front airbag system is triggered inthe event of an accident of a certainseverity in the depicted area. Theignition must be on.

The forward movement of the front seatoccupants is retarded, thereby consi-derably reducing the risk of injury to theupper body and head.



42/208

Air bags inflate when a sensor detects afront-end crash of a severity sufficient

for air bag deployment. The crashsensor sends an electric signal to initiatethe air bags inflation. A propellant isignited which rapidly burns inside theair bag module, producing enoughnitrogen gas to fully inflate the air bag.The chemical process and nitrogen gasare harmless to the vehicles occupants.Within 0.045 seconds of the crashdetection, the pressure of the inflating

air bag splits open the plastic trimcovering on the module, which is storedon the inside surface to allow the trim ofthe steering wheel hub or passenger-side instrument panel to split openunder force.

The air bag fully inflates to create asurface that can catch the forwardmovement of the front occupants headand upper torso. As the occupant comes

into contact with the air bag, the gas inthe bag empties through holes at thebase of the bag to soak up the force fromthe occupants forward movement.

Note

Air bags cannot smother you and they

don't restrict your movement. Airbags have vents, so they deflateimmediately after cushioning you.

The entire process, from initial contactthrough the air bags inflation anddeflation, occurs within 0.2 seconds,faster than the blink of an eye. Becausethe collision is over in a fraction of asecond, and vehicles involved in anaccident usually come to the final point

of rest only one or two seconds afterinitial contact, the supplementalrestraint system must sense the crashand cause the air bags to deploy nearlyinstantaneously to protect the vehiclesoccupants.

Note

An air bag can also inflate in mode-rate to severe non-collision situations(e.g., slamming the undercarriage orother solid component of the vehiclein a dip in the driving surface) wherethe crash sensors generate a signalequivalent to a crash into a solidimmovable barrier at 15 to 23 km/h(9.3 ~ 14.3 mph).

This crash severity level at which the airbag will deploy was selected to assure

inflation of air bags in our vehicles at orbelow the crash severity at which astatistical risk of death begins forfrontal collisions.In the real world, cars rarely crashsquarely into immovable walls; air bagsmost often deploy when a vehiclecollides with another vehicle. Theactual speed at which the air bags willinflate may be higher in the real world,

because real-world accidents usuallyinvolve more complicated multi-vehicle impacts, angled impacts, andincomplete frontal impacts (e.g.sideswipes), and because the objectstruck is usually not immovable.

Warning

The best protection can be providedonly when the seat is in a proper

position.No obstacles are allowed within theinflation area of airbag.Wear the seat belt correctly so that theair bag can provide protection.



43/208

Warning

Do not drive your vehicle after oneor more air bags have deployed.

Do not try to repair, alter, ordispose of the air bag yourself.

Air bags are installed under highpressure with sophisticated crashsensing and air bag inflatingsystems. Allowing an untrainedand unauthorized person to handlean air bag can lead to serious

injuries and death. Contact your CHEVROLET

retailer immediately if either ofyour vehicles air bag hasdeployed, if damage occurs toyour vehicle at or near either of theair bag modules, or if you believefor any reason that the operatingcondition of either air bag hasbeen impaired.

Driving a vehicle after an air bag hasdeployed without authorized servicecan result in severe injuries anddeath.

Your Supplemental Restraint System(SRS) is virtually maintenance free.However, if any of the followingoccurs, have your SRS servicedimmediately by CHEVROLET retailer.

Any of your air bags have deployed.

The air bag warning lamp indicatesmalfunction.

SRS Servicing

After the air bag deflates, you maynotice a burning smell, smoke, andwhite powder in the interior of thevehicle. This is normal. The burningsmell is from the propellant that wasignited to inflate the airbag. The whitepowder is cornstarch or talcum orsodium compounds which lubricate theair bag to reduce friction on the air bagduring storage and inflation. Althoughthey may cause some skin or eyeirritation, these substances are not toxic.

After The Air Bag Deploys



44/208

All of these injuries are caused by theforce created by the collision as thevehicle is brought to a sudden stop. Thetime and distance which a vehicle isallowed in slowing or stopping in greatpart determines the severity of acollisions effect on vehicle occupants.For example, when a vehicle brakes to astop at a red light, the occupants bodiesare forced forward. This is because boththe vehicle and its occupants areinitially traveling at the same speed.The brakes slow the vehicle, and theoccupants continue to move forwardsomewhat inside the vehicle. However,properly positioned and restrainedoccupants are rarely injured when avehicle comes to a stop by even suddenand hard braking. This is because evenhard braking allows a comparativelylong time and distance for the vehicle tostop. The safety belts and theoccupants strength are generallysufficient to safely counteract the forceof a braking stop.

In a crash, a vehicle may go fromhighway speed to a full stop in afraction of a second and in a distance ofless than one foot. This extremely shortstopping time and distance greatlyincreases the force placed upon theoccupants. No person has the strengthor reflexes to counteract this force.Even occupants properly positionedand wearing their safety belts will findtheir head, upper torso, arms, and hipsthrown forward at the speed the vehiclewas traveling before impact. Inmoderate to severe frontal collisions,even occupants wearing safety beltscan sustain internal brain and organinjuries without the occupants head ortorso hitting any stationary objects orsurfaces.

Air bags provide additional stopping

time and distance for the head andupper torsos of front occupants inmoderate to severe frontal or near-frontal collisions. This additional timeand distance can save lives and preventserious injuries.

Vehicle occupants are usually injured ina collision because their bodies arethrown into a stationary object, eitherinside the vehicle, such as the steeringwheel, instrument panel or windshield,or outside the vehicle, such as thedriving surface or a tree, when theoccupant is thrown from the vehicle.Severe injuries also occur by occupantsbeing jolted by the forces of the crash,even without body contact with astationary object or surface.

How Air Bags Protect FrontOccupants?



45/208

Warning

Essential Air Bag Safety Rules: Never place a rear-facing child

seat in the front seat. Children age 12 years and under

should ride in the back seatwhenever possible.

Always wear your safety belts,even if your vehicle is notequipped with an air bag.

Move your seatback rearward asfar as is comfortable and safe, tiltthe seatback slightly and sitagainst the back of the seat.

Do not place objects on, over ornear the air bag modules. They canbecome projectiles during infla-tion, causing severe injury.

Do not lean forward or rest anypart of your body on the trimcovering the air bag modules.

Do not drive with the steeringcolumn tilt adjusted fully upward.

Severe injury and death can resultfrom failing to observe these air bagsafety rules.

Always secure any rear-facing childseat in the back seat.

Child restraint systems in which thechild faces the rear of the seat mustnever be placed in the front seat. Thedeployment of an air bag risks severeinjury or death to a child in a rear-facingchild seat placed in the front seat.

Children should be seated in the backseat.

According to accident statistics,children age 12 years and under aresafer when properly restrained in theback seat than in the front seat, andshould ride in the back seat wheneverpossible. Children are safer in the backseat only because of the risks of injuryby air bags. Studies have shown thatchildren are also safer in the back seatthan in a front seat without an air bag.

Besides their life saving benefits, the airbag system also poses some moderaterisks.

Because an air bag inflates withconsiderable force, speed and sudden-ness, the air bag supplemental restraintsystem will be safer and more effectiveif the occupants are properly positionedand wear safety belts in the vehicle.

Help Your Air Bags To ProtectYou



46/208

Occupants who are not properly

wearing their safety belts may bethrown forward by braking beforeimpact, placing their bodies near oragainst the air bag modules. Thiscan cause severe injury from theforce of air bags deployment.

Move the back of the seat rearwardas far back as is comfortable andsafe.

Positioning your seat farther awayfrom the air bag module will notdecrease the effectiveness of the airbag. Greater distance from themodule means greater protectionfrom the air bags forceful andsudden deployment. Never movethe drivers seatback so far as toimpair the drivers ability tocomfortably reach the steering

wheel, pedals and other instrumentand controls.

Tilt the seat back slightly and do notlean forward.

Tilt the seatback slightly, and sit

with your back against the back ofthe seat. Do not lean or otherwiseposition your body close - within 15cm (6 inch) - to the air bag module.Do not rest any part of your body onor near the plastic trim covering theair bag module (the hub of thesteering wheel or the passenger sideof the instrument panel above theglove box). Try to keep your headand body more than 25 to 30 cm (10to 12 inches) away from the air bag.More distance is safer.

Proper positioning of adults and

teenagers.

Adults and teenagers seated in the frontdriver and passenger seats can alsoimprove their safety and the effectivenessof the air bags by using proper seatingpositions.

For the best seating position of adultsand teenagers:

Wear the three-point safety belts at

all times.All occupants, including the driver,should always wear their safetybelts whether or not an air bag isalso provided at their seatingposition to minimize the risk ofsevere injury or death in the event ofa crash.

Air bags do not deploy in rear and

side-impact collisions. Occupantsnot wearing their safety belts willnot be protected by any restraintsystem, resulting in severe injuriesor death in these types of collisions.



47/208

Do not place objects, children or

pets between you and the air bagmodule.

Your vehicles air bag modules arelocated on the steering wheel and onthe instrument panel above theglove box. Placing objects on, overor near the plastic trim coveringthese air bag modules could causethose objects to be propelled by the

inflating air bag into your face andtorso causing serious injury.

Children and pets should never rideon another occupants lap. Do notplace objects which could causeinjury during deployment on anoccupants lap.

Tilt the steering wheel downward(if so equipped), pointing the air bagtowards your chest instead of your

head and neck.Never position the steering wheel atthe highest position. This positionshould only be used to allow easy

entry and exit from the drivers seat.

Lower the steering before startingto drive. This will aim the air bag atthe drivers chest, rather than themore easily injured head and neck.

Note

The fact that your vehicle may beseverely damaged and the air bagsdid not inflate or the fact that thevehicle is relatively undamaged and

the air bag did inflate does notnecessarily mean that there issomething wrong with your air bagsystem. The crash sensors detect theseverity of the crash, not the amountof damage to the vehicle.

Warning

To perform well, an air bag mustdeploy quickly. The force is greatestin the first 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) afterthe air bag bursts through its coverand begins to inflate. Those 2 to 3inches immediately after the air bagbursts through its module cover andbegins to inflate are the risk zone. If an occupants body is in this risk

zone when the air bag deploys,severe injury or even death couldresult.

The force decreases as the air baginflates farther from the modulecover.

Greater distance from the air bagmodule means greater safetywhen the air bag deploys.



48/208

When a child restraint system is being

used, pay attention to the followingusage and installation instructionssupplied with the child restraint system.

Always comply with local or nationalregulations. In some countries, the useof child restraint systems is forbiddenon certain seats.

Child Restraint Systems

CHILD RESTRAINTS*

Warning

If the vehicle is equipped with a lap

belt on the rear center seat, no childrestraint system is allowed on this seat.

It is advised to mount the childrestraint system only on one of the rearouter seats.

Warning

NEVER use a rearward facing childrestraint on a seat protected by an

ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it,DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to theCHILD can occur.

Ensure that the mounting location ofthe child restraint system within thevehicle is correct.

Allow children to enter and exit thevehicle only on the side facing awayfrom the traffic.

When the child restraint system is not inuse, secure the seat with a seat belt orremove it from the vehicle.

Note

Do not stick anything on the childrestraint systems and do not coverthem with any other materials.

A child restraint system which hasbeen subjected to stress in anaccident must be replaced.

Please ensure that infants andchildren are seated in the rear seatsusing child restraints.

Until the children can use seat belts,please select a child restraintsuitable for its age and make surethe child wears it. Please see theinstructions on the relevantproducts for child restraints.

Selecting The Right System

Children should travel facing

in the vehicle as long as possible. Thismakes sure that the child's backbone,which is still very weak, is under lessstrain in the event of an accident.

Children under 12 years or under 150cm tall should only travel in an appro-priate child safety seat.Never carry a child whilst traveling inthe vehicle. The child will become tooheavy to hold in the event of a collision.

When transporting children, use thechild restraint systems suitable for thechild's weight.Ensure that the child restraint system tobe installed is compatible with thevehicle type.
