Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)

collision, the SRS curtain airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the side
window and supplements the seatbelt by
reducing the impact on the occupant’s
head.
In a frontal collision, SRS curtain airbags
on both sides of the vehicle deploy
between the occupant and the side
window and supplement the seatbelt by
reducing the impact to the occupant’s
head.

WARNING
The SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag are designed only to
be a supplement to the primary
protection provided by the seatbelt.
They do not do away with the need
to fasten seatbelts. It is also important to wear your seatbelt to help
avoid injuries that can result when
an occupant is not seated in a
proper upright position.

WARNING
. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to either front door. The
SRS side airbag is stored in both
front seat seatbacks next to the
door, and it provides protection
by deploying rapidly (faster than
the blink of an eye) in the event of
a side impact collision. However,
the force of SRS side airbag
deployment may cause injuries
if your head or other parts of the
body are too close to the SRS
side airbag.
. Since your vehicle is equipped
with SRS curtain airbags, do not
sit or lean unnecessarily close to

the front or rear door on either
side. Also, do not put your head,
arms or hands out of the window.
The SRS curtain airbag on each
side of the cabin is stored in the
roof side (between the front pillar
and a point over the rear seat),
and it provides protection by
deploying rapidly (faster than
the blink of an eye) in the event
of a side impact. However, the
force of its deployment may
cause injuries if your head is
too close to it.

WARNING
Do not rest your arm on either front
door or its internal trim. It could be
