If the vehicle you selected is
equipped with left and front 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
1. 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.
2. 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.
