system (SRS) - airbag E00407201944
The information for SRS airbags includes im-
portant information concerning the driver’s and front passenger’s airbags, the driver’s knee airbag, the side airbags and the curtain
airbags.
The SRS airbags are designed to supplement the primary protection of the driver and frontpassenger side seat belt systems by providingthose occupants with protection against head
and chest injuries in certain moderate-to-se- vere frontal collisions.

The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so equip-
ped) is designed to supplement the primary
protection of the driver’s seat belt system. It can reduce the forward movement of the
driver’s lower legs and provide increased overall body protection in certain moderate-
to-severe frontal collisions.
