Supplemental restraint system (SRS)-airbag
Seat and seat belts
4-29
4
The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s air-
bags are designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver and front passenger
side seat belt systems by providing those
occupants with protection against head and
chest injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
frontal collisions.
The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so equipped)
is designed to supplement the primary protec-
tion of the driver’s seat belt system. It can
reduce the forward movement of the driver’s
lower legs and provide increased overall body
protection in certain moderate-to-severe fron-
tal collisions.
The SRS side airbags (if so equipped) are
designed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and front passen-
ger with protection against chest injuries in
certain moderate-to-severe side impact colli-
sions.
The SRS curtain airbags (if so equipped) are
designed to supplement properly worn seat
belts and provide the driver and passenger
with protection against head injuries in cer-
tain moderate-to-severe side impact colli-
sions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the seat
belts. To ensure the maximum protection dur-
ing all types of collisions and accidents, all
occupants, including the passengers as well
as the driver, must wear their seat belts.

The SRS includes the following components:
Only when the operation mode is in ON, the
airbags will operate.
The airbags deployment produces a sudden,
loud noise, and releases some smoke and
powder, but these conditions are not injuri-
ous, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
People with respiratory problems may feel
some temporary irritation from chemicals
used to produce the deployment; open the
windows after airbag deployment, if safe to
do so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy-
ment, so there is little danger of obscured
vision.
