Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Precautions
The supplemental restraint systems (SRS) include up to 6 air bags (verify“SRS AIRBAG”
location indicator marks).
They are located in:
l
The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)
l
The front passenger dashboard (front passenger air bag)
l
The outboard sides of the front seatbacks (side air bags)
l
The front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge along both sides (curtain air bags)
The air bag supplemental restraint systems are designed to provide supplemental protection
in certain situations so seat belts are always important in the following ways:
Without seat belt usage, the air bags cannot provide adequate protection during an accident.
Seat belt usage is necessary to:
l
Keep the occupant from being thrown into an inflating air bag.
l
Reduce the possibility of injuries during an accident that is not designed for air bag
inflation, such as rear impact.
l
Reduce the possibility of injuries in frontal, near frontal, side collisions or roll-over
accidents that are not severe enough to activate the air bags.
l
Reduce the possibility of being thrown from your vehicle.
l
Reduce the possibility of injuries to lower body and legs during an accident because the
air bags provide no protection to these parts of the body.
l
Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the vehicle.
Your vehicle is also equipped with a driver and front passenger occupant
classification system. For details, refer to the driver and front passenger occupant
classification system (page 2-58).
Small children must be protected by a child-restraint system as stipulated by law in every
state and province. In certain states and provinces, larger children must use a child-restraint
system (page 2-27).
Carefully consider which child-restraint system is necessary for your child and follow the
installation directions in this Owner's Manual as well as the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions.
