GENERAL DESCRIPTION
M2521000100132
CAUTION
•
Driver and front passenger air bags and seat belt pre-tensioners deploy and operate in all head-on
collisions that exceed the threshold to activate the SRS system.
•
The specific value is the equivalent impact when a vehicle collides against a concrete (fixed) wall
at approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or more.
•
The SRS and pre-tensioner may not work under the following conditions:
•
A head-on collision is less than the specific value.
•
A vehicle collides on its rear end.
•
A vehicle rolls over or is in a similar position.
Driverís and front passengerís air bags and seat
belts with pre-tensioner are standard, increasing the
passive safety level.
.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
The SRS is designed to supplement the front seat
belts. It eliminates or reduces or injury to the front
passenger(s) by deploying air bag(s) in case of a
head-on collision.
.
SEAT BELT WITH PRE-TENSIONER
The seat belts with pre-tensioner work simulta-
neously with the SRS. The pre-tensioner takes up
seat belt slack immediately when a collision takes
place by that restraining the front passengers sooner
than the SRS. This prevents the passengers from
moving forwards.
