 Air Bag

The Air Bag, also known as a Supplementary/Secondary Restraint System (SRS), an Air Cushion Restraint System (ACRS), or Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System (SIRS), is a PASSIVE safety device, supplemental to safety belts, that inflates to provide a cushion to absorb impact forces during moderate to severe frontal collisions.

This system can help to lessen the chance of contact with the steering wheel, instrument panel and windshield. The air bag is actuated automatically by sensors located in the front of the vehicle. To maximize effectiveness, seat and shoulder belts must always be used in conjunction with this system

May we suggest: 
| Active Head Restraint (AHR) | Child Restraint System (CRS) | Seat Belt |
