1-2 Supplemental Restraint System 23
Front Seat Side Air Bags
If the vehicle you selected is equipped
with front left and right seat side curtain
air bags (as shown in the figure; the air
bags are positioned outside the
backrest of each front seat and both
are marked with "AIRBAG").
■ When the vehicle suffers a medium to severe lateral collision when
traveling and the SRS triggering conditions are met, the air bags will deploy
to assist in protecting the chest of the driver/passenger on the side
suffering the collision to reduce the degree of injury.
■ In case of lateral collision, only the air bag on the side suffering the collision
will deploy in general.
■ If a collision occurs on the passenger's side, if no passenger sits on the
seat, the front passenger seat side air bag will also deploy.
■ To obtain the optimum protection from the side air bag, the passenger must
fasten the seat belt and sit upright and against the backrest.
On vehicle equipped with seat side air bags
■ Do not allow the seat backrest to be wet by water. If it is wet by rain or
sprayed water, the normal operation of the side air bag system may be
affected.
■ Do not cover or replace the seat backrest cover privately. Inappropriate
seat backrest cover substitute or covering can affect the deployment of the
seat side air bag during a collision.
