sides of the vehicle.
Each is discussed in the following pages.
Front Airbags (SRS)
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate to severe frontal collision to help protect
the head and chest of the driver and/or passenger.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant's primary
restraint system.
Housing Locations
■
The front airbags are housed in the center of the steering wheel for the driver, and
in the dashboard for the passenger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.

Dual-Stage, Multi-Threshold Front Airbags
(SRS)
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-stage, multiple-
threshold front airbags (SRS).
During a frontal crash severe enough to cause one
or both front airbags to deploy, the airbags can
inflate at different rates, depending on the severity
of the crash, whether or not the seat belts are
latched, and other factors.
Front airbags are designed to supplement the seat
belts to help reduce the likelihood of head and
chest injuries in frontal crashes.
