The Supple - mental Restraint System Air Bag can help reduce impact force to the driver and to the front passenger in certain frontal collisions . The air bags are designed to supplement the crash protection provided by the driver and passenger seat belts and are not a substitute for them . The seat belts should always be correctly worn and the driver and front passen - ger seated a suitable distance from the steer - ing wheel and instrument panel .
