Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) Precautions

The front and side supplemental restraint
systems (SRS) include different types of
air bags.

 Please verify the different types

of air bags which are equipped on your
vehicle by locating the “SRS AIRBAG”
location indicators.

 These indicators are

visible in the area where the air bags are
installed.
The air bags are installed in the following
locations:
 



The steering wheel hub (driver air bag)



The front passenger dashboard (front
passenger air bag)



Under the instrument panel (driver and
front passenger

*

 knee air bags)



The outboard sides of the front
seatbacks (side air bags)



The front and rear window pillars, and
the roof edge along both sides (curtain
air bags)

 
Vehicles with the Front Passenger
Occupant Classification System have a
sensor which detects an impending
roll-over accident.
 

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:



Keep the occupant from being thrown
into an inflating air bag.



Reduce the possibility of injuries during
an accident that is not designed for air
bag inflation, such as rear impact.



Reduce the possibility of injuries in
frontal, near frontal or side collisions or
roll-over accidents that are not severe
enough to activate the air bags.



Reduce the possibility of being thrown
from your vehicle.



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.



Hold the driver in a position which
allows better control of the vehicle.
