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.
Double−cab models—The SRS airbags
D
are designed to protect the driver and
front passenger.
Single−cab models—The SRS airbags
D
are designed to protect the driver and

signed to protect an occupant in the

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.
The front passenger airbag will not acti-
vate if there is no passenger sitting in the
front passenger seat. However, the front
passenger 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.
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 during an accident
reduces the chances of death or
serious injury or being thrown out
of the vehicle. For instructions and
precautions concerning
belt system, see "Seat belts" on
page 37.
