Seats & Safety System
3-42
The SRS offers the ability to control the
airbag inflation within two levels. A first
stage level is provided for moderate-
severity impacts. A second stage level is
provided for more severe impacts.
According to the impact severity and
seat belt usage, the SRS Control Module
(SRSCM) controls the airbag inflation.
Failure to properly wear seat belts may
increase the risk or severity of injury in a
collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from inflating front airbags:
ś
Seat belts must be worn at all times
to help keep occupants positioned
properly.
ś
Move your seat as far back as
possible from front airbags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
ś
Never lean against the door or center
console.
ś
Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o’clock and 3 o’clock positions, to
minimize the risk of injuries to your
hands and arms.
ś
Do not allow the front passenger
to place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.
ś
Never place any objects (such as
dashboard cover, mobile phone
holder, cup holder, perfume or
stickers) over or near the airbag
modules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, windshield glass,
and the front passenger’s panel
above the glove box. Such objects
may cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the
airbags to deploy.
ś
Do not attach any objects on the front
windshield and inside mirror.
Side airbags

The side airbags are designed to deploy
during certain side impact collisions,
depending on the crash severity.
The side airbags on both sides of the
vehicle are designed to deploy when a
rollover is detected by a rollover sensor.
The side airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.
