PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL RE-
STRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
E12-A-120227-7F89D46B-E3E8-4C41-B2DD-E8AD6CC5FD5D
This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section
contains important information concerning the driver’s
and passenger’s supplemental front-impact air bags,
and pre-tensioner seat belts.
Supplemental front-impact air bag system
E12-A-120227-E1FD5FC9-A2CC-45F2-BD03-AEBBE39FE3B7
This system can help cushion the impact force to the
head and chest area of the driver and/or front
passenger in certain frontal collisions. The supple-
mental front-impact air bag is designed to inflate on the
front where the vehicle is impacted.
The SRS is designed to supplement the accident
protection provided by the driver’s seat belt and is not
designed to substitute for it. The SRS can help save
lives and reduce serious injuries. However, inflating air
bags may cause abrasions or other injuries. Air bags
do not provide protection to the lower body. Seat belts
should always be correctly worn and the occupants
should always be seated a suitable distance away from
the steering wheel. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-6).) The air
bags inflate quickly in order to help protect the
occupants. The force of the air bags inflating can
increase the risk of injury if the occupants are too close
to, or are against, the air bag modules during inflation.
The air bags will deflate quickly after deployment.
The SRS operates only when the ignition switch
is in the “ON” position.
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position,
the SRS air bag warning light illuminates for
about 7 seconds and then turns off. This
indicates that the SRS is operational. See “SRS
air bag warning light” (P.1-25).

WARNING:
. The supplemental front-impact air bags
ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a
side impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower
severity frontal collision. Always wear the
seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity
of injury in accidents.
. The seat belts and the supplemental front-
impact air bags are most effective when you
are sitting well back and upright in the seat.
The front-impact air bags inflate with great
force. If you are unrestrained, leaning for-
ward, sitting sideways, or out of position in
any way, you are at greater risk of injury or
death in an accident. You may also receive
serious or fatal injuries from the supple-
mental front-impact air bag if you are up
against it when it inflates. Always sit back
against the seatback and as far away as
practical from the steering wheel. Always
use the seat belts.
