Owner`s manual

Active head restraints are effective for colli-
sions at low to medium speeds in which it is
said that whiplash injury occurs most.
Active head restraints operate only in certain
rear-end collisions. After the collision, the
head restraints return to their original posi-
tions.
Properly adjust the active head restraints as
described in the previous section.
ARMREST
Pull the armrest forward and lay it horizontal.
SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLE-
MENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
section contains important information con-
cerning the driver and front passenger supple-
mental front air bags, supplemental side air
bags and pre-tensioner seat belts.
Supplemental front air bag system: This
system can help cushion the impact force to
the face and chest of the driver and front
passenger in certain frontal collisions.
Supplemental side air bag system: This
system can help cushion the impact force to
the head and chest area of the driver and front
passenger in certain side impact collisions.
The supplemental side air bag is designed to
inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted.
These supplemental restraint systems are de-
signed to supplement the crash protection
provided by the driver and front passenger
seat belts and are not a substitute for them.
Seat belts should always be correctly worn
and the driver and front passenger seated a
suitable distance away from the steering
wheel, instrument panel and front door finish-
ers. (See “Seat belts” later in this section for
instructions and precautions on seat belt
usage.)
After turning the ignition key to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning lightwill turnoff
after about 7 seconds if the systems are
operational.
