Model "A2490BE-B" EDITED: 2012/ 7/ 6
1-40 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
to help avoid injuries that can
result when an occupant is not
seated in a proper upright posi-
tion.
WARNING
. The SRS a irbags deploy with
considerable speed and force.
Occupants who are out of proper
position when the SRS airbag
deploys could suffer very serious
injuries. Because the SRS airbag
needs enough space for deploy-
ment, the driver should always
sit upright and well back in the
seat as far f rom the steering
wheel as practical while still
maintaining full vehicle control
and the front passenger should
move the seat as far back as
possible and sit upright and well
back in the seat.
WARNING
. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to either front door. The
SRS side airbags are stored in
both front seat seatbacks next to
the door, and they provide pro-
tection by deploying rapidly (fas-
ter than the blink of an eye) in the
event of a side impact collision.
However, the force of SRS side
airbag deployment may cause
injuries if your head or other
parts of the body are too close
to the SRS side airbag.
. 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. Also, do not put your head,
arms or hands out of the window.
The SRS curtain airbags on both
sides of the cabin are stored in
the roof side (between the front
pillar and a point over the rear
seat), and they provide protec-
tion by deploying rapidly (faster
than the blink of an eye) in the
event of a side impact. For Out-
back mo dels, the SRS curtain
airbags also deploy in the event
of a rollover. However, the force
of its deployment may c ause
injuries if your head is too close
to it.
. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the SRS airbag. Because
the SRS airbag deploys wi th
considerable speed faster than
the blink of an eye and force to
protect in high speed collisions,
the force of an airbag can injure
an occupant whose body is too
close to SRS airbag.
It is also important to wear your
seatbelt to help avoid injuries
