SRS side airbags
In response to a severe side impact, the SRS side airbags
work together with the seat belts to help reduce injury by
inflating. The SRS side airbags help to reduce injuries
mainly to the driver’s or front passenger’s chest.
The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat is activated even
with no passenger in the front seat.
Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic
module, which will record the use of the seat belt restraint
system by the driver and front passenger when the SRS side
airbags are inflated.
CAUTION
SRS side airbags inflate with considerable force. To
avoid potential death or serious injury when they inflate,
the driver and front passenger must:
Wear their seat belts properly.
Remain properly seated with their back upright and
against the seat at all times.
