SRS airbag (Supplemental

Restraint System airbag)

S01AH

The Supplemental Restraint System

(SRS) name is used because the airbag

system supplements the vehicle’s seat-

belts.

This vehicle is equipped with a supple-

mental restraint system which consists of

seven airbags.

The configurations are as follows.

. Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal

airbags

. Driver’s and front passenger’s side

airbags

. Curtain airbags (for driver, front pas-

senger, and window-side rear passen-

gers)

. Knee airbag for driver

These SRS airbags are designed only

as a supplement to the primary protec-

tion provided by the seatbelt.

The system also controls front seatbelt

pretensioners. For operation instructions

and precautions concerning the seatbelt

pretensioner, refer to “Seatbelt preten-

sioners” F1-21.

WARNING

. To obtain maximum protection in

the event of an accident, the

driver and all passengers must

always wear seatbelts when in

the vehicle. The SRS airbag is

designed only to be a supplement

to the primary protection pro-

vided by the seatbelt. It does not

eliminate the need to fasten seat-

belts. In combination with the

seatbelts, it offers the best pro-

tection in case of a serious acci-

dent.

Not wearing a seatbelt increases

the chance of severe injury or

death in a crash even when the

vehicle has the SRS system.

For instructions and precautions

concerning the seatbelt system,

refer to “Seatbelts” F1-12.

. The SRS side airbags and SRS

curtain airbags are designed only

to be a supplement to the primary

protection provided by the seat-

belt. They do not eliminate the

need to fasten seatbelts. It is also

important to wear your seatbelt to

help avoid injuries that can result

when an occupant is not seated

in a proper upright position.

WARNING

The SRS airbags deploy with con-

siderable speed and force. Occu-

pants who are not seated in proper

upright position when the SRS air-

bag deploys could suffer serious

injury. Because the SRS airbag

needs enough space for deploy-

ment, the driver should always sit

upright and back in the seat as far

from the steering wheel as practical

while still maintaining full vehicle

control, and the front passenger

should move the seat as far back

as possible and sit upright and well

back in the seat.

WARNING

. Do not sit or lean close to either

front door. The SRS side airbags

are stored in both front seat

seatbacks next to the door, and

they provide protection by de-

ploying rapidly in the event of a

side impact. However, the force

of SRS side airbag deployment

can injure an occupant whose

body is too close to an SRS

airbag.

. Since your vehicle is equipped

with SRS curtain airbags, do not

sit or lean close to the front or

rear door on either side. Do not

put body parts out of the window.

The SRS curtain airbags on both

sides of the cabin are stored in

the roof side (between the front

pillar and a point behind the rear

quarter glass), and they provide

protection by deploying rapidly

in the event of a side impact,

rollover or an offset frontal colli-

sion. However, the force of its

deployment can injure an occu-

pant whose body is too close to

an SRS airbag.

. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily

close to the SRS airbag. Because

the SRS airbag deploys with

considerable speed and force to

protect in high speed collisions,

the force of an airbag can injure

an occupant whose body is too

close to the SRS airbag.

It is also important to wear seat-

belt to help avoid injuries that can

result when the SRS airbag con-

tacts an occupant not in their

proper position.

Even when properly positioned,

there remains a possibility that

an occupant may suffer minor

injury, such as abrasions and

bruises to the face or arms,

because of the SRS airbag de-

ployment force.

WARNING

. Keep arms away from either front

door or its internal trim. They

could be injured in the event of

SRS side airbag deployment.

. Do not place any objects over or

near the SRS airbag cover or

between you and the SRS airbag.

If the SRS airbag deploys, these

objects could interfere with its

proper operation and could be

propelled inside the vehicle,

causing injury.

CAUTION

. When the SRS airbag deploys,

some smoke will be released.

This smoke could cause breath-

ing problems for people with a

history of asthma or other breath-

ing trouble. If you or your pas-

sengers have breathing pro-

blems after SRS airbag deploys,

get fresh air promptly.

. A deploying SRS airbag releases

hot gas. Occupants could get

burned if they come into direct

contact with the hot gas.

NOTE

. When you sell your vehicle, we urge

you to inform the buyer that the vehicle

is equipped with SRS airbags. Also,

notify the buyer of the applicable sec-

tion in this Owner’s Manual.

. If the SRS airbag deploys, fuel

supply will be cut off to reduce the risk

of fire caused by leaking fuel. For

details about restarting of the engine,

refer to “If your vehicle is involved in an

accident” F9-20.
