Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag
4-32 Seat and restraint systems
4
N00408200523
A side airbag and curtain airbag are designed
to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate
to severe side impact to the middle of the pas-
senger compartment.
The typical situation is shown in the illustra-
tion.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your pri-
mary means of protection in an accident. The
SRS side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to provide additional protection.
Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all
occupants, be sure to always wear your seat
belts properly.
In certain types of side collisions, the side air-
bag and curtain airbag may not deploy, even
if the deformation of the body seems to be
large, because the vehicle’s body structure is
designed to absorb the impact and to deform
in order to help protect the occupants. Some
typical situations where the side airbag and
curtain airbag may not deploy are shown in
the illustrations.
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags
do not protect the occupant in all types of side
collisions, be sure to always wear your seat
belts properly.
Front-facing child restraint systems
should also be used ONLY in the rear seat.
If a front-facing child restraint system
must be used in the front passenger seat,
move the seat as far back as possible, and
make sure that the child stays in the child
restraint system, properly restrained and
away from the door.
Do not allow a child to lean against or sit
close to the passenger door, even if the
child is seated in a child restraint system.
The child’s head should also not lean
against or be close to the section of the
seatback where the side airbag and cur-
tain airbag are located. It is dangerous if
the side airbag and curtain airbag
deploys. Failure to follow all of these
instructions could lead to serious injury or
death to the child.
Work done on or in the vicinity of the side
airbag and curtain airbag system compo-
nents should be done only by a certified i-
MiEV dealer. Improper work methods can
cause accidental side airbag and curtain
airbag deployment, or render a side air-
bag and curtain airbag inoperable. Either
of these situations can result in serious
injury or death.
