Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - air-
bag
N00407700619
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS), which includes airbags for the driver and passengers.
The SRS front airbags are designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver and front passenger seat belt systems
by providing those occupants with protection against head and
chest injuries in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions.
The SRS front airbags, together with sensors at the front of the
vehicle and sensors attached to the front seats, form an
advanced airbag system.
The SRS driver’s knee airbag is designed to supplement the
primary protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It can
reduce the forward movement of the driver’s lower legs and
provide increased overall body protection in certain moderate
to severe frontal collisions.
The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) and the curtain airbags
(if so equipped) are also designed to supplement the seat belts.
The SRS side airbags provide the driver and front passenger
with protection against chest injuries by deploying the bag on
the side impacted in moderate to severe side impact collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags provide the driver and passengers on
the front seat and rear outboard seat with protection against
head injuries by deploying a bag on the side impacted in mod-
erate to severe side impact collisions.
The SRS airbags are NOT a substitute for use of the seat belts.
For maximum protection in all types of accidents, seat belts
must ALWAYS be worn by everyone who drives or rides in
this vehicle (with infants and small children in an appropriate
child restraint system in the rear seat, and older children buck-
led in the rear seat). Refer to “Child restraint systems” on page
2-24.
WARNING
!
● IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WEAR
YOUR SEAT BELT PROPERLY EVEN WITH AN
AIRBAG.
• Seat belts help keep the driver and passengers
properly positioned. This reduces the risk of injury
in all collisions, and reduces the risk of serious
injuries or death when the airbags inflate.
During sudden braking just before a collision, an
unrestrained or improperly restrained driver or
passengers can move forward into direct contact
with, or within close proximity to, the airbag when
it begins to inflate.
The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful and can cause serious injuries or death if
the occupant comes in contact with the airbag at
this time.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of injury in rollovers,
rear impact collisions, and in lower-speed frontal
collisions, because the airbags are not designed to
inflate in those situations.
• Seat belts reduce the risk of being thrown from
your vehicle in a collision or rollover.
