5.2 Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
5.2.1 Air Bags
Front Seats
Side airbags are not compatible with swiveling
front seats.
Do not specify the base vehicle with side airbags
when planning to retrofit a swiveling device on
the front seats and/or an armrest on the outer
side of the front seats, this may affect the function
and/or deployment of the side airbags.
The acceleration based airbag sensors for side
airbags are located nearby the bottom of the
C-pillar inner for RAP and DBL Cab vehicles. The
pressure based airbag sensors for side airbags are
located near the centre of the front doors' inner
door sheet metal for all Cab styles.
WARNING: Modifications or
reinforcements in the area of the sensors
may affect the side airbag fire timing and
result in uncontrolled side air bag
deployment.
Please note that vehicles not equipped with side
airbags but equipped with front airbags only are
not affected.
Drilling or grinding operations in this area are only
permitted when battery cables are disconnected.
