6 SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if
equipped)
6.1 Airbags
Your vehicle has the following airbags:
• A frontal airbag for the driver
• A frontal airbag for the front passenger (if equipped)
Airbags are located in:
• The steering wheel hub
• The passenger side instrument panel
They are indicated by “SRS AIRBAG” embossed on the covers.
An airbag is not designed to deploy in every type of crash.
Depending on the type of accident or impact, the front airbags
independently deploy thereby protecting the occupants. It is not
necessary that ALL the airbags deploy during an accident.
To minimize the risk of severe injury in the event of a crash, every
passenger must always wear their seat belt (see the chapter on
Seat Belts in this manual). The airbags inflate very quickly with great
force. Do not position any part of your body too close to a airbag,
you or especially children could be seriously injured/killed by a
deploying airbag.
6.2 Introduction
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) includes airbags, pre-
tensioners and ECU. The airbags are designed to provide further
protection to the vehicle occupants in addition to the primary
protection provided by the seat belts and seat belt pre-tensioners.
The primary components of the system are the sensors which
measure the crash severity. In the event of a significant frontal
impact, the SRS airbags inflate to work in conjunction with the seat
belts and help reduce injuries mainly to the driver's or front
passenger's head/chest.
Seat belts are the primary restraint system in the vehicle. An
airbag provides supplemental protection in addition to the seat
belts.
All occupants, including the driver, should always wear their
seat belts irrespective of presence of airbags to minimize the
risk of severe injury in the event of a crash.
Airbags are more effective in reducing injuries when the seat
belts are worn.
