Essential Safety Equipment
SRS Air Bags
Sit in the centre of the seat and wear
seat belts properly:
Sitting too close to the side air bag
modules or placing hands on them, or
sleeping up against the door or
hanging out the windows is extremely
dangerous. The side and curtain air
bags inflate with great force and speed
directly expanding along the door on
the side the car is hit. Serious injury
could occur if someone is sitting too
close to the door or leaning against a
window, or if rear seat occupants grab
the sides of the front seatbacks. Give
the side and curtain air bags room to
work by sitting in the centre of the seat
while the vehicle is moving with seat
belts worn properly.
Do not attach objects on or around
the area where driver and front
passenger air bags deploy:
Attaching an object to the driver and
front passenger air bag modules or
placing something in front of them is
dangerous. In an accident, an object
could interfere with air bag inflation
and injure the occupants.
Do not attach objects on or around
the area where a side air bag deploys:
Attaching objects to the front seat in
such a way as to cover the outboard
side of the seat in any way is
dangerous. In an accident the object
could interfere with the side air bag,
which inflates from the outboard side
of the front seats, impeding the added
protection of the side air bag system or
redirecting the air bag in a way that is
dangerous. Furthermore, the bag could
be cut open releasing the gas.
2-46
Do not hang net bags, map pouches or
backpacks with side straps on the front
seats. Never use seat covers on the
front seats. Always keep the side air
bag modules in your front seats free to
deploy in the event of a side collision.
Do not attach objects on or around
the area where a curtain air bag
deploys:
Attaching objects to the areas where
the curtain air bag activates such as on
the windscreen glass, side door glass,
front and rear window pillars and
along the roof edge and assist grips is
dangerous. In an accident the object
could interfere with the curtain air bag,
which inflates from the front and rear
window pillars and along the roof
edge, impeding the added protection
of the curtain air bag system or
redirecting the air bag in a way that is
dangerous. Furthermore, the bag could
be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not place hangers or any other
objects on the assist grips. When
hanging clothes, hang them on the
coat hook directly. Always keep the
curtain air bag modules free to deploy
in the event of a side collision or
roll-over accident.
Do not touch the components of the
supplementary restraint system after
the air bags have inflated:
Touching the components of the
supplementary restraint system after
the air bags have inflated is dangerous.
Immediately after inflation, they are
very hot. You could get burned.
