PRECAUTIONS ON SUPPLEMENTAL RE-

STRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

T32A130827-472B749A-1D52-40E6-A55D-E253224FD34B

This Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) section

contains important information concerning the driver’s

and passenger’s supplemental front-impact air bags,

supplemen tal side-impa ct air bags, supplemental

curtain side-impact air bags and pre-tensioner seat

belts.

Supplemental front-impact air bag system

T32A130827-B8254390-3B61-40FC-91DE-1AC76EF9CA11

This system can help cushion the impact force to the

head and chest area of the driver and/or front

passenger in certain frontal collisions. The supple-

mental front-impact air bag is designed to inflate on the

front where the vehicle is impacted.

Supplemental side-impact air bag system (if

equipped)

GUID-86134849-D1CC-4A18-B616-BEDE533187A6

This system can help cushion the impact force to the

chest area of the driver and front passenger in certain

side-impact collisions. The supplemental side-impact

air bag is designed to inflate on the side where the

vehicle is impacted.

Supplemental curtain side-impact air bag

system (if equipped)

GUID-9482082F-6DCB-432F-9FD0-9A1EB3E05C4C

This system can help cushion the impact force to the

head of the driver and passengers in front and rear

outboard seating positions in certain side-impact

collisions. The supplemental curtain side-impact air

bag is designed to inflate on the side where the vehicle

is impacted.

The SRS is designed to supplement the accident

protection provided by the driver’s and passenger’s

seat belts and is not designed to substitute for them.

The SRS can help save lives and reduce serious

injuries. However, inflating air bags may cause abra-

sions or other inju ries. A ir bags do not provide

protection to the lower body. Seat belts should always

be correctly worn and the occupants should always be

seated a suitable distance away from the steering

wheel and instrument panel. (See “Seat belts” (P.1-9).)

The air bags inflate quickly in order to help protect the

occupants. The force of the air bags inflating can

increase the risk of injury if the occupants are too close

to, or are against, the air bag modules during inflation.

The air bags will deflate quickly after deployment.

The SRS operates only when the ignition switch

is in the “ON” position.

When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position,

the SRS air bag warning light illuminates for

about 7 seconds and then turns off. This

indicates that the SRS air bag system is opera-

tional. (See “SRS air bag warning light” (P.1-31).)

WARNING:

. The supplemental front-impact air bags

ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a

side impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower

severity frontal collision. Always wear the

seat belts to help reduce the risk or severity

of injury in accidents.

. The seat belts and the supplemental front-

impact air bags are most effective when you

are sitting well back and upright in the seat.

The front-impact air bags inflate with great

force. If you and your passengers are unrest-

rained, leaning forward, sitting sideways, or

out of position in any way, you and your

passengers are at greater risk of injury or

death in an accident. You and your passen-

gers may also receiv e serious or fatal

injuries from the supplemental front-impact

air bag if you are up against it when it

inflates. Always sit back against the seat-

back and as far away as practical from the

steering wheel or instrument panel. Always

use the seat belts.

1-30 Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

WARNING:

. The supplemental side-impact air bags and

supplemental curtain side-impact air bags

ordinarily will not inflate in the event of a

front impact, rear impact, rollover, or lower

severity side collision. Always wear the seat

belts to help reduce the risk or severity of

injury in accidents.

. The seat belts and the supplemental side-

impact air bags and supplemental curtain

side-impact air bags are most effective when

you are sitting well back and upright in the

seat. The supplemental side-impact air bags

and supplemental curta in side-impact air

bags inflate with great force. If you and your

passengers are unrestrained, leaning for-

ward, sitting sideways, or out of position in

any way, you and your passengers are at

greater risk of injury or death in an accident.

. Do not allow anyone to place their hands,

legs, or face near the supplemental side-

impact air bags and supplemental curtain

side-impact air bags on the sides of the

seatback of the front seats or near the side

roof rails. Do not allow anyone sitting in the

front seats or rear outboard seats to extend

their hands out of the windows or lean

against the doors. Some examples of dan-

gerous riding positions are shown in the

illustrations.

. When sitting in the rear seats, do not hold

onto the seatback of the front seats. If the

supplemental side-impact air bags and sup-

plemental curtain side-impact air bags in-

flat e, you may be seriously injured. Be

especially careful with children, who should

always be properly restrained.

. Do not use seat covers on the front seat-

backs. They may interfere with the supple-

mental side-impact air bag inflations.

Pre-tensioner seat belt system

T32A130827-4BCD70AF-5EB8-439E-9317-35CFA875C11C

The pre-tensioner seat belt system activates in

conjunction with the supplemental front-impact air

bag. Working with the seat belt retractor and anchor, it

helps tighten the seat belt the instant the vehicle

becomes involved in certain types of collisions, helping

to restrain front seat occupants. (See “Pre-tensioner

seat belt system ” (P.1-36).)

Air bag warning labels
