Supplemental Restraint System

(SRS) Precautions

The front and side supplemental

restraint systems (SRS) include di

ff

erent

types of air bags.

 Please verify the

di

ff

erent 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 Classi

fi

cation 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 in

fl

ating air bag.



Reduce the possibility of injuries

during an accident that is not

designed for air bag in

fl

ation, 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.
