SRS side airbags and curtain
shield airbags
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags are designed to provide further
protection for the driver, front passen-
ger and second outside passengers in
addition to the primary safety protec-
tion provided by the seat belts.
In response to a severe side impact, the
SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags work with the seat belts to help
reduce injury by inflating. The SRS side
airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the
driver's or front passenger's chest and the
SRS curtain shield airbags help reduce
injuries mainly to the driver's, front pas-
senger's or second outside passenger's
head.
The SRS side airbag and curtain shield
airbag on the passenger side are activated
even with no passenger in the front seat
or second outside seat.
The curtain shield airbags may activate
even when the side airbags are not acti-
vated.
Always wear your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
The SRS side airbag and curtain
D
shield airbag system is designed
only as a supplement to the prima-
ry protection of the driver, and
front passenger and second outside
passenger seat belt systems. To en-
sure maximum protection in an ac-
cident, the driver and all passen-
gers in the vehicle must wear their
seat belts properly. Wearing a seat
belt properly during an accident re-
duces the chances of death or seri-
ous injury or being thrown out of
the vehicle. For instructions and
precautions concerning
belt system, see "Seat belts" on
page 59 in this Section.
