Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System/Supplemental Restraint System (Air Bag) This section explains the driver's Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR)/Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) system, commonly referred to as an air bag. Here are the most important things to know: IA CAUTION: Air bags inflate with great force, faster thanthe blink of an eye. If you're too close to an inflating air bag, it could seriously injure you. Safety belts help keep you in position for an airbag inflation in a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with an airbag, and sit as far back as you can while still maintaining control of your vehicle. Even with an a r bag, if you're not wearing a S safety belt and you're [ina crash, your injuries may be much worse. Air bags are not designed to inflate in rollovers or in rear, side or low-speed I frontal crashes. You need to wear your safety belt to reduce the chance ofhitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. Always wear your safety belt, even with an air bag. ,I 1 There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows "INFL REST" or "INFLATABLE RESTRAINT."
