Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags effective in preventing or reducing injury. Place the lap belt as low as possible on the child's hips. A high-positioned lap belt will increase the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen, and both can result in serious internal injury or death. Make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of child's shoulder. Placing the shoulder belt over the neck may result in neck injury during sudden braking or in a collision. *SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag) *SRS: This stands for supplemental restraint system. This name is used because the airbag system supplements the vehicle's seatbelts. Vehicle with driver's and front passenger's SRS airbags and lap/shoulder restraints Your vehicle is equipped with a supplemental restraint system in addition to a lap/shoulder belt at each front seating position. The supplemental restraint system (SRS) consists of two airbags (driver's and front passenger's frontal airbags). These SRS airbags are designed only as a supplement to the primary protection provided by the seatbelt. The system also controls front seatbelt pretensioners. For operation, instructions are precautions concerning the seatbelt pretensioner, see the "Front seatbelt pretensioners" section in this chapter. - CONTINUED - 1-47
