6 SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if
equipped)

6.1 Airbags

Your Vehicle has the following airbags ( Based on Variant type)
• A Frontal airbag for driver – located in steering wheel hub
• A Frontal airbag for front outboard passenger – located in
instrument panel on passenger side
They are indicated by "SRS AIRBAG" embossed on steering wheel /
Instrument panel respectively
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.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (if equipped)

6.2 Introduction

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) includes airbags, and
ECU. The airbags are designed to provide additonal protection to
the vehicle occupants over and above the primary protection
provided by the seat belts.
The primary components of the SRS are the sensors which
measure the deaccelration intensity. In the event of a frontal
impact, intensity being above the threshold 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.
Airbag is more effective in reducing injuries when the seat belts
are worn.
