1-54 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
The SRS side airbag and SRS cur-
tain airbag are designed as only a
supplement to the primary protec-
tion provided by the seatbelt. They
do not do away with the need to fas-
ten seatbelts. It is also important to
wear your seatbelt to help avoid in-
juries that can result when an occu-
pant is not seated in a proper up-
right position.

y Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to either front door. The
SRS side airbag is stored in both
front seat seatbacks next to the
door, and it provides protection
by deploying rapidly (faster than
the blink of an eye) in the event of
a side impact collision. However,
the force of SRS side airbag de-
ployment may cause injuries if
your head or other parts of the
body are too close to the SRS side
airbag.
y Since your vehicle is equipped
with SRS curtain airbags, do not
sit or lean unnecessarily close to
the front or rear door on either
side. The SRS curtain airbag on
each side of the cabin is stored in
the roof side (between the front
pillar and a point over the rear
seat), and it provides protection
by deploying rapidly (faster than
the blink of an eye) in the event of
a side impact. However, the force
of its deployment may cause inju-
ries if your head is too close to it.
Do not rest your arm on either front
door or its internal trim. It could be
injured in the event of SRS side air-
bag deployment.
