Your Vehicle's Safety Features Airbags The most important things you need to know about your airbags are: Airbags do not replace seat belts. Airbags can pose hazards. To do their job, airbags must inflate with tremendous force. So while airbags help save lives, they can cause minor injuries or more serious or even fatal injuries if occupants are not properly restrained or sitting properly. What you should do: Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as far back from the steering wheel while allowing full control of the vehicle. A passenger should move the seat as far back from the dashboard as possible. They are designed to supplement the seat belts. Airbags offer no protection in side impacts, rear impacts, rollovers, or minor collisions. Your vehicle has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with frontal airbags to help protect the heads and chests of the driver and a passenger during a moderate to severe frontal collision (see page 18 for more information on how your airbags work).
