Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
*SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System airbag)
*SRS: This stands for supplemental re-
straint system. This name is used be-
cause the airbag system supplements the
vehicle ’ s seatbelts.
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash
sensing and diagnostic module, which will
record the use of the seatbelt(s) by the
driver and/or front passenger when any of
the SRS frontal and side airbags deploys.
Vehicle with driver ’ s and
front passenger ’ s SRS air-
bags and lap/shoulder re-
straints
Your vehicle is equipped with a supple-
mental restraint system in addition to a
lap/shoulder belt at each front seating po-
sition.
The supplemental restraint system (SRS)
consists of two airbag (driver ’ s and front
passenger ’ s frontal airbags) or four air-
bags (driver ’ s and front passenger ’ s fron-
tal airbags and driver ’ s and front passen-
ger ’ s side airbags).
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 not be possible to fasten the
top tether 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.
Not wearing a seatbelt increases
the chance of severe injury or
death in a crash even when the ve-
hicle has the SRS airbag.
For instructions and precautions
concerning the seatbelt system,
see the “ Seatbelts ” section in this
chapter.
