*SRS airbag (Supplemental

*SRS: This stands for supplemental re-
straint system. This name is used be-
cause the airbag system supplements the

& Vehicle with drivers and
front passengers SRS air-
bags and lap/shoulder re-
straints
Your vehicle is equipped with a supple-
mental restraint system in addition to a
lap/shoulder belt at each front seating
position.
The supplemental restraint system (SRS)
consists of two airbag (drivers and front
passengers frontal airbags) or four air-
bags (drivers and front passengers fron-
tal airbags and drivers and front passen-
gers side airbags).
These SRS airbags are designed only
as a supplement to the primary protec-
tion provided by the seatbelt.
The system also controls front seatbelt
pretensioners. For operation instructions
and precautions concerning the seatbelt
pretensioner, see the Front seatbelt pre-
tensioners section in this chapter.
WARNING
. To obtain maximum protection in
the event of an accident, the
driver and all passengers in the
vehicle should always wear seat-
belts when the vehicle is moving.
The SRS airbag is designed only
as a supplement to the primary
protection provided by the seat-
belt. It does not do away with the
need to fasten seatbelts. In com-
bination with the seatbelts, it
offers the best combined protec-
tion in case of a serious accident.
Not wearing a seatbelt increases
the chance of severe injury or
death in a crash even when the
vehicle has the SRS airbag.
For instructions and precautions
concerning the seatbelt system,
see the Seatbelts section in
this chapter.
. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the SRS airbag. Because
