(SRS) Precautions
The front and side supplemental
restraint systems (SRS) include
dierent
types of air bags. Please verify the
dierent types of air bags which are
equipped on your vehicle by locating
the “SRS AIRBAG” location indicators.
These indicators are visible in the area
where the air bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the
following locations:
The steering wheel hub (driver air
bag)
The front passenger dashboard (front
passenger air bag)
Under the instrument panel (driver

knee air bags)
The outboard sides of the front
seatbacks (side air bags for driver
and front passenger)
The outboard sides of the rear
seatbacks (side air bags for rear
passengers)
*
The front and rear window pillars,
and the roof edge along both sides
(curtain air bags)
Vehicles with the Driver and Front
Passenger Occupant Classification
System have a sensor which detects an
impending roll-over accident.
The air bag supplemental restraint
systems are designed to provide
supplemental protection in certain
situations so seat belts are always
important in the following ways:
Without seat belt usage, the air bags
cannot provide adequate protection
during an accident. Seat belt usage is
necessary to:
Keep the occupant from being
thrown into an
inflating
air bag.
Reduce the possibility of injuries
during an accident that is not
designed for air bag inflation, such as
rear impact.
Reduce the possibility of injuries in
frontal, near frontal or side collisions
or roll-over accidents that are not
severe enough to activate the air
bags.
Reduce the possibility of being
thrown from your vehicle.
Reduce the possibility of injuries to
lower body and legs during an
accident.
Hold the driver in a position which
allows better control of the vehicle.
If your vehicle is also equipped with a
driver and front passenger occupant
classification system, refer to the Front

Classification
System (page 2-67) for details.
