SRS driver airbag and front
passenger airbag
(double cab models)
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) airbags are designed to provide
further protection for the driver and
front passenger in addition to the pri-
mary safety protection provided by the
seat belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS front airbags work together with
the seat belts to help reduce injury by
inflating. The SRS front airbags help re-
duce injuries mainly to the driver's or front
passenger's head or chest caused by hit-
ting the vehicle interior.
Vehicles with split bench seat—The SRS
front passenger airbag is activated even
with no passenger in the front seat.

Vehicles with separate seat—The SRS
front passenger airbag will not activate if
there is no passenger sitting in the front
passenger seat. However, the front pas-
senger airbag may deploy if luggage is
put in the seat, or the seat belt is buckled
up, regardless of the presence of an oc-
cupant in the seat. (As for the front pas-
senger occupant classification system, see
"Front passenger occupant classification
system" in this Section.)
Always wear your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
"
The SRS front airbag system is de-
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
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 in-
structions and precautions concern-
ing the seat belt system, see "Seat
belts" in this Section.
