WARNING
Warning labels are located on both
sides of the front passenger's sun
visor. Carefully read the description
in "Warning label" F1-25.
For the locations of the SRS airbags, refer
to Components F1-45.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision,
the following components deploy.
. SRS frontal airbag for driver
. SRS frontal airbag for front passenger
. SRS knee airbag for driver (if
equipped)
These components supplement the seat-
belts by reducing the impact to the
occupant s head, chest (all models) and
knees (models with SRS knee airbag).
For models with SRS side airbag, in a
moderate to severe side impact collision,
the SRS side airbag on the impacted side
of the vehicle deploys between the occu-
pant and the door panel and supplements
the seatbelt by reducing the impact to the
occupant s chest and waist. The SRS side
airbag operates only for front seat occu-
pants.
For models with SRS curtain airbag, in a
moderate to severe side impact collision,
the SRS curtain airbag on the impacted
side of the vehicle deploys between the
occupant and the side window and sup-
plements the seatbelt by reducing the
impact to the occupant s head.
! Occupant detection system (if
equipped)
The occupant detection sensor is installed
under the seat upholstery and monitors
the physique and posture of the front
passenger. The occupant detection sys-
tem determines whether the front passen-
ger s SRS frontal airbag should be de-
ployed or not from the physique and
posture of the front passenger.
The occupant detection system may not
inflate the front passenger s SRS frontal
airbag even when the driver s SRS frontal
airbag deploys. This is normal.
If the front passenger s seat cushion is
wet, this may adversely affect the ability of
the occupant detection system. If the seat
cushion is wet, do not use the front
passenger s seat. Wipe off liquid from
the seat immediately, let the seat dry
naturally and then check the SRS airbag
system warning light as follows.
