The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags are designed to provide further
protection for the driver, front passen-
ger and rear outside passengers in
addition to the primary safety protec-
tion provided by the seat belts.
In response to a severe side impact, the
SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags work 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 and
the SRS curtain shield airbags help to
reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s, front
passenger’s or rear outside passenger’s
head. The SRS side airbag and curtain
shield airbag on the passenger side are
activated even with no passenger in the
front seat or rear seat.
The curtain shield airbags may activate
even when the side airbags are not acti-
vated.
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 when the SRS side
airbags and curtain shield airbags are in-
flated.
CAUTION
SRS side airbags and curtain shield
airbags inflate with considerable
force. To avoid potential death or se-
rious injury when they inflate, the
driver, front passenger and rear out-
side passengers must:
D
Wear their seat belts properly.
D
Remain properly seated with their
back upright and against the seat at
all times.
