SRS Air Bags

Form No. 8S06-EA-03H

Seating Position with Side Air Bags:
Sitting too close to the side air bag modules or placing hands on them is extremely 
dangerous. A side air bag inflates with great force and speed directly out of the 
outboard shoulder of the front seat and expands along the front door on the side the 
car is hit.
Serious injury could occur if someone is sitting too close to the door or leaning 
against a window in the front seats or if rear seat occupants grab the sides of the front 
seatbacks. Furthermore, sleeping up against the door or hanging out the driver’s-side 
window while driving could block the side air bag and eliminate the advantages of 
supplemental protection. Give the side airbags room to work by sitting in the center of 
the seat while the vehicle is moving with seat belts worn properly.

Front Air Bag Modules:
Attaching an object to a front air bag modules or placing something in front of them 
is dangerous. In an accident, the object could interfere with front air bag inflation 
and injure the occupants.
Always keep the front air bag modules free of objects.

Side Air Bag Modules:
Attaching things to the front seat in such a way as to cover the outboard side of the 
seat in any way is dangerous. In an accident the object could interfere with the side 
air bag, which inflates from the outboard side of the front seats, impeding the added 
protection of the side air bag system or redirecting the air bag in a way that is 
dangerous. Furthermore, the bag could be cut open spewing exhaust.
Do not hang net bags, map pouches or backpacks with side straps on the front seats. 
Never use seat covers on the front seats. Always keep the side air bag modules in your 
front seats free to deploy in the event of a side collision.

Hot Air Bag Inflators:
Hot air bag inflators are dangerous. Immediately after inflation, the inflators in the 
steering wheel, dashboard or the seatbacks are very hot. You could get burned. Don’t 
touch the internal components of the air bag modules after the bags have inflated.
