Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
*SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System airbag)
*SRS: This stands for supplemental restraint system. This name is used because the airbag system supplements the
vehicle’s seatbelts.
CAUTION
Prevent the top tether from touching
cargo in the cargo area. The top
tether may become slack if the
cargo changes shape or moves.
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash
sensing and diagnostic module, which will
record the use of the seatbelt(s) by the
driver and front passenger when any of
the SRS frontal, side and curtain airbags
deploy. The recorded information cannot
be transmitted to any central communications system or other external device.
& Your vehicle’s SRS configuration
The driver’s seat, the front passenger’s
seat, and the outboard seats of the rear/
second seating row of your vehicle are
each provided with, in addition to a lap/
shoulder belt, one or more airbags as
follows.
. Frontal airbag (one each for driver’s
seat and front passenger’s seat)
. Side airbag (one each for driver’s seat
and front passenger’s seat)
. Curtain airbag (one each for the outboard sides of cabin, extending from
driver’s and front passenger’s seats to
1-45
second seating row)
These SRS airbags are designed only
to be a supplem ent to the primary
protection provided by the seatbelt.
The system also controls front seatbelt
pretensioners. For operation instructions
and precautions concerning the seatbelt
pretensioner, refer to “Front seatbelt pretensioners” F1-27.
WARNING
. To obtain maximum protection in
the event of an accident, the
driver and all passengers in the
vehicle should always wear seatbelts when the vehicle is moving.
The SRS airbag is designed only
to be a supplement to the primary
protection provided by the seatbelt. It does not eliminate the
need to fasten seatbelts. In combination with the seatbelts, it
offers the best combined protection in case 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.
