Supplemental Restraint System
How the Passenger's
Airbag Works
If you have a severe frontal
collision, the passenger's airbag
will inflate at the same time as
the driver's airbag.
This airbag is quite large and
inflates with considerable force.
It can seriously hurt a front seat
passenger who is not in the
proper position and wearing the
seat belt properly.
Front seat passengers should
move the seat as far back as
practical and sit well back in the
seat.
We strongly recommend that you
do not put an infant seat in the
front passenger's seat. If the
airbag inflates, it can hit the
infant seat with great force. The
infant seat can be dislodged or
struck with enough force to cause
serious injury to the infant.
If a toddler seat is used in the
front passenger's seat, the
vehicle seat should be moved as
far back as possible. If the
passenger bag inflates, it could
seriously hurt a toddler who is
not in the proper position or
properly restrained.
The passenger's airbag is stored
near the top of the dashboard,
under a lid marked SRS. Do not
place any objects on top of this
lid. If the airbag inflates, those
objects can be propelled inside
the car and possibly hurt
someone.
How the SRS Indicator
Light Works
The purpose of the SRS light
on your instrument panel is
to alert you to a potential
problem with your supplemental
restraint system.
Have the system checked if:
The light does not come on
when you turn the ignition
ON (II).
The light stays on after the
engine starts.
The light comes on or flashes
while you are driving.
