SRS driver airbag, driver
knee airbag and front
passenger airbag
QS13004
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) front airbags are designed to pro-
vide further protection for the driver
and front passenger in addition to the
primary safety protection provided by
the seat belts.
44
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS front airbags work with the seat
belts to help reduce injury by inflating.
The SRS front airbags deploy when re-
ceiving the severe frontal impact that may
cause serious injuries to the driver and
front passenger. And together with the fea-
ture of the seat belts to restrain their
bodies, the SRS front airbags help reduce
injuries mainly to the driver's and front
passenger's heads and chests. The front
passenger airbag is activated even with
no passenger in the front seat.
Always wear your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
The SRS front airbag system is de-
D
signed only as a supplement to the
primary protection of the driver and
front passenger seat belt systems.
The driver and front passenger can
be killed or seriously injured by the
inflating airbags if they do not wear
the available seat belts properly.
During sudden braking just before
a collision, an unrestrained driver
or front passenger can move for-
ward into direct contact with or
close proximity to the airbag which
may then deploy during the colli-
sion. To ensure maximum protection
in an accident, the driver and all
passengers in the vehicle must
wear their seat belts properly. Wear-
ing a seat belt properly during an
accident reduces the chances of
death or serious injury or being
thrown out of the vehicle. For
instructions and precautions con-
cerning the seat belt system, see
"Seat belts" on page 34 in this Sec-
tion.
