SEATS, SEAT BELTS, CHILD RESTRAINTS AND AIR BAGS 89 WARNING! All seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attaching hardware, should be inspected by an authorized dealer after any collision. We recommend that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the collision was very minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the seat belt assemblies; that work should be done by an authorized dealer. Failure to have an authorized dealer perform the work could reduce the effectiveness of the belts and could result in serious or fatal injury in a collision. Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - air bag This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which includes air bags for the driver and front passenger. The SRS air bag is designed to supplement the primary protection of the driver and front passenger side seat belt systems by providing those occupants with protection against head and chest injuries in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions. The SRS side air bag (if so equipped) is also designed to supplement the seat belts and provide the driver and front passenger with protection against chest injuries in certain moderate to severe side impact collisions. The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat belts. For maximum protection in all types of crashes and accidents, seat belts must ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in this vehicle (with infants and small children in an appropriate child restraint in the rear seat, and older children buckled in the rear seat). Refer to ''Child Restraints'' on page 76. 3
