Driver and passenger supplemental
knee air bags
This system can help cushion the impact
force to the driver’s and front passenger’s
knees in certain collisions.
The SRS is designed to supplement the
crash protection provided by the driver and
front passenger and rear seat belts and is
not a substitute for them. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the
occupant seated a suitable distance away
from the steering wheel, instrument panel
and door finishers. For additional informa-
tion, see “Seat belts” (P. 1-12).
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position.
After placing the ignition switch in the
ON position, the supplemental air bag
warning light illuminates. The supple-
mental air bag warning light will turn off
after about 7 seconds if the system is
operational.
WARNING
• The front air bags ordinarily will not
inflate in the event of a side impact,
rear impact, rollover, or lower sever-
ity frontal collision. Always wear your
seat belts to help reduce the risk or
severity of injury in various kinds of
accidents
• The front passenger air bag and pas-
senger knee air bag will not inflate if
the passenger air bag status light is
lit. For additional information, see
“Front passenger air bag and status
light” (P. 1-57).
