There may be the case that the SRS side
airbags will not activate with such an im-
pact in which the occupant wearing the
seat belt correctly would not get serious
injury.
The SRS side airbags are designed to
inflate when the passenger compartment
gets a severe impact from the side.
For the safety of all occupants, be sure
to always wear seat belts.

sists of the following components and
their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion.
