•
The seat belts and the supplemental side-im-
pact air bags and supplemental curtain side-
impact air bags are most effective when you are sitting well back and upright in the seat.
The supplemental side-impact air bags and
supplemental curtain side-impact air bags in-
flate with great force. If you and your passen-
gers are unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting
sideways, or out of position in any way, you
and your passengers are at greater risk of
injury or death in an accident.
• Do not allow anyone to place their hands, legs
or face near the supplemental side-impact air
bags and supplemental curtain side-impact
air bags located on the sides of the seatback
of the front seats or near the side roof rails.
Do not allow anyone sitting in the front seats
or rear outboard seats to extend their hands
out of the windows or lean against the doors.
Some examples of dangerous riding positions
are shown in the illustrations.
• When sitting in the rear seats, do not hold
onto the seatback of the front seats. If the
supplemental side-impact air bags and
supplemental curtain side-impact air bags in-
flate, you may be seriously injured. Be espe-
cially careful with children, who should always
be properly restrained.
• Do not use seat covers on the front seatbacks.
They may interfere with the supplemental
side-impact air bag inflations. •
Do not attach the key with heavy objects, hard
objects or objects with sharp edges. This may
cause injury if the supplemental knee air bag
inflates.
Pre-tensioner seat belt system
(where fitted)
The pre-tensioner seat belt system may activate with the supplemental air bag system in certain types of
collisions. Working with the front seat belt retrac-
tors and anchors, it helps tighten the seat belt the
instant the vehicle becomes involved in certain types
of collisions, helping to restrain front seat occupants.
(See “Seat belts” earlier in this section.)
Air bag warning labels
➀ SRS air bag warning label: The warning label
is located on the surface of the front pas-
senger sun visor.
➁ SRS front passenger air bag warning label:
The warning label is located on the outer side
of the instrument panel (passenger side). ➂
SRS side air bag warning label: The warning
label is located on the side of the passenger
side centre pillar. Tags are also sewn into the
front seat covers.
SRS front-impact passenger air bag:
The warning label ➀is located on the sun visor.
“NEVER use arearward facing child restraint on
as eat protected by an ACTIVE AIR BAG in front
of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD
can occur.”
The BACK SEAT is the SAFEST place for children
aged 12 and under. Always use seat belts and
child restraints. For maximum safety protection
in all types of crashes, you must always wear
your safety belt. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the air bag. Do not place any objects
over the air bag or between the air bag and your-
self. If the air bag warning light stays on or is
flashing when the ignition is placed in the ON
position, go to an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. Air bags can only be removed or dis-
posed of by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop.
Be sure to read the “AIR BAG LABEL” description
at the end of this manual.
In vehicles equipped with afront-impact passenger
air bag system, use arear-facing child restraint sys-
tem only on the rear seats. NP A1155
1-34 Safety —seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

When installing
achild restraint system in your ve-
hicle, always follow the child restraint system manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation. For additional
information, see “Child restraints” earlier in this sec-
tion.
SRS air bag warning light
The supplemental air bag warning light, displaying in the instrument panel, monitors the circuits
for the air bag systems, pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem (where fitted) and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
SRS air bag warning light illuminates for about 7
seconds and then turns off. This indicates that the
SRS air bag systems are operational.
Have the air bag systems and/or pre-tensioner seat
belt systems serviced at the nearest approved dealer
or qualified workshop if any of the following condi-
tions occur:
• The SRS air bag warning light remains on after
approximately
7seconds. •
The SRS air bag warning light flashes intermit-
tently.
• The SRS air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate at all.
Under these conditions, the air bag and/or pre-
tensioner seat belt system may not operate prop-
erly. They must be checked and repaired. Contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop immedi-
ately. SP A1097Z

•
Tampering with the supplemental air bag sys-
tems may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the steering
wheel and the instrument panel by placing
materials over the steering wheel pad and
above, around or on the instrument panel or
by installing additional trim materials around
the supplemental air bag systems.
• Work on and around the supplemental air bag
systems should be done by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop. The SRS wiring
should not be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorised electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on the
supplemental air bag systems.
• The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low for easy identification.
• Never install
arear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch. In afrontal
collision, supplemental front-impact air bags
inflate with great force. An inflating supple-
mental front-impact air bag could seriously
injure or kill your child.
When the air bags inflate, afairly loud noise may be
heard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke
is not harmful and does not indicate afire. Care
should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irri-
tation and choking. Those with ahistory of abreath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly. Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag is
located at the centre of the steering wheel. The pas-
senger’s supplemental front-impact air bag is lo-
cated at the instrument panel above the glove box.
The supplemental front-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of
ahigher severity fron-
tal impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal colli-
sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental front-impact air
bag system operation. WARNING
Never install
arear-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat without first deacti-
vating the passenger air bag with the front pas-
senger air bag switch (where fitted), see “Front
passenger air bag switch (where fitted)” later in
this section. In afrontal collision, supplemental
front-impact air bags inflate with great force. An
inflating supplemental front-impact air bag could
seriously injure or kill your child. Front passenger air bag status light (where fit-

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE WARNING
• Once the supplemental front-impact air bags
have been inflated, the air bag modules will
not function and must be replaced. The air
bag modules must be replaced by an ap- proved dealer or qualified workshop. The in-
flated air bag modules cannot be repaired.
• The air bag systems should be inspected by
an approved dealer or qualified workshop if
there is any damage to the vehicle.
• If you need to dispose of the SRS or scrap the
vehicle, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop. Correct disposal procedures
are set forth in the appropriate maintenance
service manual. Incorrect disposal proce-
dures could cause personal injury.
The supplemental front-impact air bags and pre-
tensioner seat belts (where fitted) are designed to
activate on aone-time-only basis. As areminder,
unless the SRS air bag warning light is damaged,
the SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated
after inflation has occurred. The repair and replace-
ment of the SRS should be done only by an ap-
proved dealer or qualified workshop. When maintenance work is required on the vehicle,
information about the air bags, pre-tensioner seat
belts and related parts should be pointed out to the
person performing the maintenance. The ignition
switch should always be in the “LOCK” position
when working under the bonnet or inside the ve-
