5.10 Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
5.10.1 Air Bags
Front Air Bag Deployment Zones
WARNING: Do not place accessories in
the deployment zone of the driver and
passenger air bags as they may impair
airbag deployment.
NOTE:
It is recommended to specify a base
vehicle without air bags if planning modifications
in this area.
Side and Curtain Air Bag Deployment
Zones
WARNING: Do not place accessories in
the deployment zone of the side and
curtain air bags as they may impair airbag
deployment.
Side Air Bags (Seat Mounted):
The side air bags
on this vehicle have not been validated for use
with swivelling front seats. Do not specify a base
vehicle with side air bags if planning to retrofit a
swivelling device on the front seats and/or an
armrest on the outer side of the front seats; this
may affect the function and/or deployment of
the side air bags. Ensure any seat covers installed
are designed to be used with side airbag equipped
seats.
Curtain Air Bags:
Extensive modifications to the
roof and headlining may impair deployment of
the curtain air bags. If roof or headlining is to be
modified or replaced, do not specify curtain air
bags on the base vehicle.
If access to the roof is required, to install roof
mounted exterior accessories for example, ensure
the unmodified headlining is refitted using the
existing mounting points.
NOTE:
All M1 vehicles are specified with side and
curtain air bags as standard fitment.
