In response to a severe side impact, the
SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags work with the seat belts to help
reduce injury by inflating. The SRS side
airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the
driver's or front passenger's chest and the
SRS curtain shield airbags help reduce
injuries mainly to the driver's, front pas-
senger's or rear outside passenger's head.
Vehicles with separate seat—The SRS
side airbag on the passenger seat will not
activate if there is no passenger sitting in
the front passenger seat. However, the
side airbag on the passenger seat may
deploy if luggage is put in the seat, or the
seat belt is buckled up, regardless of the
presence of an occupant in the seat. (As
for the front passenger occupant classifi-
cation system, see "Front passenger occu-
pant classification system" in this Sec-
tion.)

Roll sensing function:
In response to a vehicle rollover, the cur-
tain shield airbags on both sides work
with the seat belts to help reduce injury
by inflating. The curtain shield airbags
help reduce injuries mainly to the driver's
or front passenger's head and help pre-
vent them from being thrown out of the
vehicle. (This function can be turned off
if inflation is not desired. See "Roll sens-
ing of curtain shield airbags off switch" in
this Section.)
The SRS curtain shield airbag on the pas-
senger side are activated even with no
passenger in the front seat or rear outside
seat.
The SRS curtain shield airbags may acti-
vate even when the side airbags are not
activated.
Always wear your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
"
The SRS side airbag and curtain
shield airbag system is designed
only as a supplement to the prima-
ry protection of the driver, front
passenger and rear outside passen-
ger seat belt systems. To ensure
maximum protection in an accident,
the driver and all passengers in the
vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly. Wearing a seat belt prop-
erly during an accident reduces the
chances of death or serious injury
or being thrown out of the vehicle.
For instructions and precautions
concerning the seat belt system,
see "Seat belts" in this Section.
