Your vehicle is equipped with an
Advanced Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) and lap/shoulder belts at
both the driver and passenger seating
positions.
The SRS consists of advanced airbags
which are located in the center of the
steering wheel, in the driver's side lower
crash pad below the steering wheel, and
the passenger's side front panel pad
above the glove box.
The airbag locations are embossed with
the letters, "AIRBAG".
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and front passenger with
additional supplemental protection that
the seat belt system does not provide in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient
severity.
The SRS uses sensors to gather
information about the driver's and front
passenger's seat belt usage and impact
severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors determine if
the driver and front passenger's seat belts
are fastened. These sensors provide the
ability to control the SRS deployment
based on whether or not the seat belts are
fastened, and how severe the impact is.
The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the airbag inflation within two
levels. A first stage level is provided for
moderate severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe
impacts.
According to the impact severity and seat
belt usage, the SRS Control Module
(SRSCM) controls the airbag inflation.
Failure to properly wear seat belts may
increase the risk or severity of injury in a
collision.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from inflating front airbags, take
the following precautions:
• Seat belts must be worn at all times to
help keep occupants positioned
properly.
• Move your seat as far back as possible
from front airbags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
• Never lean against the door or center
console.
