SRS Airbag( Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)
the seatbelts, the SRS airbag offers vehicle occupants the best possible protection in the event of a serious accident.
Not wearing a seatbelt increases the chance of severe injury or death in a crash even when the vehicle has the SRS airbag.
For instructions and precautions concerning the seatbelt system, refer to“ Seatbelts” FP39.
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 very serious injuries. Because the SRS airbag needs enough space for deployment, the driver should always sit upright and well 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 or an offset frontal collision. However, the force of SRS side airbag deployment can injure an occupant if they are too close to an SRS airbag.
. Since this 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 if they are too close to an SRS airbag.
. Do not sit or lean 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 SRS airbag.
