Vehicle with SRS airbags and
lap/shoulder restraints for
driver, front passenger, and
window-side rear passengers
Your vehicle is equipped with a supple-
mental restraint system in addition to a
lap/shoulder belt at each front seating po-
sition and each rear window-side seating
positions.
The supplemental restraint system (SRS)
consists of two, four, or six airbags. The
configurations are as follows:
Two airbags
Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal air-
bags
Four airbags
y
Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal
airbags

Driver’s and front passenger’s side air-
bags
Six airbags
y
Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal
airbags
y
Driver’s and front passenger’s side air-
bags
y
Curtain airbags (for driver, front pas-
senger, and window-side rear passen-
gers)
These SRS airbags are designed only
as a supplement to the primary protec-
tion provided by the seatbelt.
The system also controls front seatbelt
pretensioners. For operation instructions
and precautions concerning the seatbelt
pretensioner, see the “Front seatbelt pre-
tensioners” section in this chapter.
Always remove the head restraint
when mounting a child restraint sys-
tem with a top tether. Otherwise, it
may happen that the top tether can-
not be fastened tightly.

To obtain maximum protection in
the event of an accident, the driv-
er and all passengers in the vehi-
cle should always wear seatbelts
when the vehicle is moving. The
SRS airbag is designed only as a
supplement to the primary protec-
tion provided by the seatbelt. It
does not do away with the need to
fasten seatbelts. In combination
with the seatbelts, it offers the
best combined protection in case
of a serious accident.
