Limitations To SRS Air Bag
In severe collisions such as those described
in "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria" para-
graph, the applicable SRS air bag equipment
w
i
ll deploy.
However, in some accidents, the equipment
ma
y not deploy depending on the type of
collision and its severity.
Limitations To Front / Near Front Collision
De
tection
Front/near front collisions may not be
de
tected as severe enough to deploy the SRS
air bag equipment:
Impacts involving trees or poles (A)
Frontal offset impact to the vehicle (B)
Rear-ending or running under a truck's tail gate
Front/Near Front Collision
WARNING!
Unapproved modifications or service
procedures to the passenger seat
assembly, its related components, seat
cover or cushion may inadvertently
change the air bag deployment in case of
a frontal collision. This could result in
death or serious injury to the front
passenger if the vehicle is involved in a
collision. A modified vehicle may not
comply with required Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and/
or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Stan
-
dards (CMVSS).
If it is necessary to modify the air bag
system for persons with disabilities,
contact an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt
pretensioners cannot protect you in
another collision. Have the air bags, seat
belt pretensioners, and the seat belt
retractor assemblies replaced by an
authorized dealer immediately. Also, have
the Occupant Restraint Controller System
serviced as well.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in
your instrument panel could mean you
won’t have the air bags to protect you in
a collision. If the light does not come on
as a bulb check when the ignition is first
turned on, stays on after you start the
vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive,
have an authorized dealer service the air
bag system immediately.
Placing an object on the floor under the
front passenger seat may prevent the
occupant classification sensor from
working properly, which may result in
serious injury or death in a collision. Do
not place any objects on the floor under
the front passenger seat.
If there is a fault present in the occupant
classification sensor, both the Indicator
Light and the Air Bag Warning Light will
illuminate to show that the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag is deactivated.
Should this occur, the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag will remain
deactivated until the fault is cleared.
This indicates that you should take the
vehicle to an authorized dealer for
service immediately.
