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
E00407301697
The SRS includes the following components:
1- Airbag module (Driver)
2- Front passenger’s airbag indicator
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.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy-
ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi-
sion.
CAUTION
l
Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflating
airbags can result in abrasions, bruises, light
cuts, and the like.
