Srs Driver And Front Passenger Airbags - Toyota Corolla 1998 Operating Manual

SRS driver and front
passenger airbags
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) airbags are designed to provide
further protection for the driver and
front passenger when added to the pri-
mary protection provided by the seat
belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS airbags work together with the
seat belts to help prevent or reduce injury
by inflating, in order to decrease the likeli-
hood of the driver's or front passenger's
head or chest directly hitting the steering
wheel or dashboard. The passenger airbag
is activated even with no passenger in the
front seat.
Be sure to wear your seat belt.

CAUTION
A driver or front passenger too close
to the steering wheel or dashboard
during airbag deployment can
killed or seriously injured. Toyota
strongly recommends that:
"
The driver sit as far back as pos-
sible from the steering wheel while
still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
"
The front passenger sit as far back
as possible from the dashboard.
"
All vehicle occupants be properly
restrained using the available seat
belts.
