SRS/Airbag
45
The airbag SRS (supplementary restraint system) incorporates front and side airbags for both the
driver and front seat passenger.
Provided the front seat occupants are correctly seated with seat belts properly worn, the airbags
provide additional protection to the chest and facial areas in the event of the vehicle receiving a
severe frontal impact, and to the side of the body facing the impact, if a severe side collision
occurs.
The front airbags are located in the centre pad of the steering wheel and in the fascia panel above
the glovebox. Side airbags are positioned in the backrest padding on the outward side of both
front seats (see illustration).
