Occupants who are not properly

wearing their safety belts may be

thrown forward by braking before

impact, placing their bodies near or

against the air bag modules. This

can cause severe injury from the

force of air bag’s deployment.

• Move the back of the seat rearward

as far back as is comfortable and

safe.

Positioning your seat farther away

from the air bag module will not

decrease the effectiveness of the air

bag. Greater distance from the

module means greater protection

from the air bag’s forceful and

sudden deployment. Never move

the driver’s seatback so far as to

impair the driver’s ability to

comfortably reach the steering

wheel, pedals and other instrument

and controls.

• Tilt the safety belt slightly and do

not lean forward.

Tilt the seatback slightly, and sit

with your back against the back of

the seat. Do not lean or otherwise

position your body close - within 15

cm(6 inch) - to the air bag module.

Do not rest any part of your body on

or near the plastic trim covering the

air bag module (the hub of the

steering wheel or the passenger side

of the instrument panel above the

glove box). Try to keep your head

and body more than 25 to 30 cm (10

to 12 inches) away from the air bag.

More distance is safer.

Warning

To perform well, an air bag must

deploy quickly. The force is greatest

in the first 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) after

the air bag bursts through its cover

and begins to inflate. Those 2 to 3

inches immediately after the air bag

bursts through its module cover and

begins to inflate are the risk zone.

• If an occupant’s body is in this risk

zone when the air bag deploys,

severe injury or even death could

result.

• The force decreases as the air bag

inflates farther from the module

cover.

• Greater distance from the air bag

module means greater safety

when the air bag deploys.
