PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL RE-
STRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
GUID-37754424-0563-4FED-9E65-7D5E1E6785F6
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
GUID-9925DA0D-9D65-4DAE-9460-8508E0AFA746
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 and passenger’s
seat belts and is not designed to substitute for them.
The SRS can help save lives and reduce serious
injuries. However, inflating air bags may cause abra-
sions 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 and instrument panel. (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” or “START” 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 air bag system is opera-
tional. (See “SRS air bag warning light” (P.1-20).)

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 and your passengers are unrest-
rained, leaning forward, sitting sideways, or
out of position in any way, you and your
passengers are at greater risk of injury or
death in an accident. You and your passen-
gers may also receive serious or fatal
injuries from the supplemental front-impact
air bag if you are up against it when it
inflates. Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel or instrument panel. Always
use the seat belts.
