SRS airbag ( Supplemental Restraint System airbag )
important to wear a 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 considerable speed and force . Occupants who are not seated in the proper upright position when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer serious injury . Because the SRS airbag needs enough space for deployment , 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 deploying rapidly in the event of a side impact collision . 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 collision . However , the force of its deployment can injure an occupant 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 an SRS airbag .
It is also important to wear seatbelts to help avoid injuries that can result when the SRS airbag contacts an occupant not in their proper position .
Even when properly positioned , there remains a possibility that
