Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

The passenger's side front airbag is folded
behind a panel located above the glove com-
partment.
WARNING
•
The airbags in the vehicle are designed
to be a SUPPLEMENT to–not a
replacement for–the three-point seat
belts. For maximum protection, wear
seat belts at all times. Be aware that
no system can prevent all possible
injuries that may occur in an accident.
•
Never drive with your hands on the
steering wheel pad/airbag housing.
•
The front airbags are designed to help
prevent serious injury. Deployment
occurs very quickly and with consider-
able force. During normal deployment
and depending on variables such as
seating position, one may experience
abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other
injuries as a result from deployment of
one or both of the airbags.
•
When installing any accessory equip-
ment, make sure that the front airbag
system is not damaged. Any interfer-
ence in the system could cause mal-
function.
Front airbag deployment
•
The front airbags are designed to deploy
during certain frontal or front-angular col-
lisions, impacts, or decelerations,
depending on the crash severity, angle,
speed and object impacted. The airbags
may also deploy in certain non-frontal
collisions where rapid deceleration
occurs.
•
The SRS sensors, which trigger the front
airbags, are designed to react to both the
impact of the collision and the inertial
forces generated by it, and to determine if
the intensity of the collision is sufficient
for the seat belt pretensioners and/or air-
bags to be deployed.
However, not all frontal collisions activate the
front airbags.
•
If the collision involves a nonrigid object
(e.g., a snow drift or bush), or a rigid,
fixed object at a low speed, the front air-
bags will not necessarily deploy.
•
Front airbags do not normally deploy in a
side impact collision, in a collision from
the rear or in a rollover situation.
•
The amount of damage to the bodywork
does not reliably indicate if the airbags
should have deployed or not.
WARNING
•
Do not use child safety seats or child
booster cushions/backrests in the
front passenger's seat. We also rec-
ommend that occupants under 4 feet
7 inches (140 cm) in height who have
outgrown these devices sit in the rear
seat with the seat belt fastened
1 .
•
Never drive with the airbags deployed.
The fact that they hang out can impair
the steering of your vehicle. Other
safety systems can also be damaged.
•
The smoke and dust formed when the
airbags are deployed can cause skin
and eye irritation in the event of pro-
longed exposure.

ponent in the SRS system, please contact a
