Occupant safety

High speed impacts may cause serious injury
or death irrespective of safety features fitted
to a vehicle. Always drive with caution and
consideration for the vehicle’s
characteristics, road and weather conditions,
and do not exceed any speed limits in force.
Seat belts must be worn at all times, by the
driver and passengers in all seating
positions. The air bag Supplementary
Restraint Systems (SRS) cannot provide
protection in some types of impact. Under
these circumstances, the only protection will
be provided by a correctly worn seat belt.
AIR BAG OPERATION
For the air bags to operate correctly the roof
lining and door post trims must be in good
condition, correctly fitted and free from
obstruction. Any damage, wear, or incorrect
fitment should be referred to your
Dealer/Authorized Repairer as soon as
possible for examination and repair.
Air bags inflate at high speeds. To minimize
the risk of injury, ensure that all vehicle
occupants wear correctly positioned seat
belts, sit correctly in the seats, and position
the seats as far back as practical.
Air bag inflation takes place instantaneously,
and cannot protect against the effects of
secondary impacts. Under these
circumstances the only protection will be
provided by a correctly worn seat belt.
Phone systems should only be installed by
qualified persons familiar with the operation
of, and requirements for, vehicles fitted with
SRS. If you are in any doubt, seek advice
from your Dealer/Authorized Repairer.
Air bag deployment is dependent on the rate at
which the passenger compartment changes
velocity following the collision. Circumstances
affecting different collisions (vehicle speed,
angle of impact, type and size of object hit,
etc.), vary considerably and will affect the rate
of deceleration accordingly.
The Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)
components include:
• SRS warning indicator.
• Rotary coupler.
• Air bag modules.
• Seat belt pre-tensioners (front seat belts).
• Air bag diagnostic control unit.
• Crash sensors.
• Air bag wiring harnesses.
• Seat occupancy sensor.
The SRS is not designed to operate as a result
of:
• Rear impacts.
• Minor front impacts.
• Minor side impacts.
• Heavy braking.
• Driving over bumps and pot holes.
Therefore, it follows that considerable
superficial damage to the vehicle can occur,
without causing the air bags to deploy.
