Vehicles are equipped with a
Supplemental Air Bag System for the
driver’s seat, front passenger’s seats
and/or rear seats.
The front air bags are designed to
supplement the three-point seat
belts. For these air bags to provide
protection, the seat belts must be
worn at all times when driving.
You can be severely injured or killed
in an accident if you are not wearing
a seat belt. Air bags are designed to
supplement seat belts, but do not
replace them. Also, air bags are not
designed to deploy in every collision.
In some accidents, the seat belts are
the only restraint protecting you.AIR BAG SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS use seat belts and child restraints - every trip, every time,
everyone! Even with air bags, you can be seriously injured or killed in
a collision if you are improperly belted or not wearing your seat belt
when the air bag inflates.
NEVER place a child in any child restraint or booster seat in the front
passenger seat. An inflating air bag could forcefully strike the infant
or child causing serious or fatal injuries.
ABC - Always Buckle Children under age 13 in the back seat. It is the
safest place for children of any age to ride. If a child age 13 or older
must be seated in the front seat, he or she must be properly belted
and the seat should be moved as far back as possible.
All occupants should sit upright with the seatback in an upright posi-
tion, centred on the seat cushion with their seat belt on, legs com-
fortably extended and their feet on the floor until the vehicle is parked
and the engine is turned off. If an occupant is out of position during
an accident, the rapidly deploying air bag may forcefully contact the
occupant causing serious or fatal injuries.
You and your passengers should never sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bags or lean against the door or centre console.
Move your seat as far back as possible from front air bags, whilst still
maintaining control of the vehicle. It is recommended that drivers
allow at least 25 cm (10 in) between the centre of the steering wheel
and the chest.
WARNING (Continued)
•Keep the SRS parts and
wirings away from water or any
liquid. If the SRS components
are inoperative due to expo-
sure to water or liquids, it may
cause fire or severe injury.

heads of the front seat occupants
and the rear outboard seat occupants
in certain side impact collisions.

impact.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the side and/or curtain air
bags on both sides of the vehicle
may deploy if a rollover or possible
rollover is detected.
The curtain air bags are not designed
to deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.How does the air bags system

components:
1. Driver's front air bag module
2. Passenger's front air bag module

5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)
