Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
seatbelt to help avoid injuries that
can result when the SRS airbag
contacts an occupant not in proper
position such as one thrown toward
the front of the vehicle during pre-
accident braking.
WARNING
. Do not put any objects over the
steering wheel pad and dash-
board. If the SRS frontal airbag
deploys, these objects could in-
terfere with its proper operation
and could be propelled inside the
vehicle, causing injury.
. The key must not be attached to
heavy, sharp or hard acces-
sories, or another key. If the knee
airbag deploys, those objects
could interfere with its proper
operation and could be propelled
inside the vehicle and cause
injury.
. Do not put any objects under the
driver's side of the instrument
panel. If the SRS knee airbag
deploys, those objects could in-
terfere with its proper operation
and could be propelled inside the
vehicle and cause injury.
WARNING
Do not attach accessories to the
windshield, or fit an extra-wide mir-
ror over the inside rear view mirror.
If the SRS airbag deploys, those
objects could become projectiles
that could seriously injure vehicle
occupants.
! 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.
