The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) are de-
signed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and front passen-
ger with protection against chest and abdo-
men injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
side impact collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are
designed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and passenger
with protection against head injuries in cer-
tain moderate-to-severe side impact colli-
sions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat
belts. To ensure the maximum protection dur-
ing all types of collisions and accidents, all
occupants, including the passengers as well
as the driver, must wear their seat belts.
How the Supplemental Re-
straint System works
E00407302883
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp*
3- Airbag module (Passenger)
4- Driver’s knee airbag module*
5- Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch*
6- Side airbag modules*
7- Curtain airbag modules*
Only when the ignition switch or the opera-
tion mode is under the following conditions,
the airbags will operate.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless
operation system]
The ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation
system]
The operation mode is in ON.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden,
loud noise, and releases some smoke and
powder, but these conditions are not injuri-
ous, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
People with respiratory problems may feel
some temporary irritation from chemicals
used to produce the deployment; open the
windows after airbag deployment, if safe to
do so.
