Supplemental side-impact air bag
system (where fitted)
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the chest and pelvis area of the driver and front pas-
senger in certain side-impact collisions. The supple-
mental side-impact air bag is designed to inflate on
the side where the vehicle is impacted.
Supplemental curtain side-impact air
bag system (where fitted)
This system can help cushion the impact force to
the head of the driver and passengers in front seat-
ing positions and rear outboard seating positions
(where fitted) in certain side-impact collisions. The
supplemental curtain side-impact air bag is designed
to inflate on the side where the vehicle is impacted.
The SRS is designed to supplementthe accident
protection provided by the driver’s and passenger’s
seat belts and is notdesigned to substitutefor
them. The SRS can help save lives and reduce seri-
ous injuries. However, inflating air bags may cause
abrasions or other injuries. Air bags do not provide
protection to the lower body. Seat belts should al-
ways be correctly worn and the occupants should
always be seated asuitable distance away from the
steering wheel, instrument panel and door finishers.
(See “Seat belts” earlier in this section.) The air
bags inflate quickly in order to help protect the oc-
cupants. The force of the air bags inflating can in-
crease the risk of injury if the occupants are too
close to, or are against, the air bag modules during
inflation. The air bags will deflate quickly after de-
ployment. The SRS operates only when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the SRS air bag warning light illuminates for
about
7seconds and then turns off. This indi-
cates that the SRS is operational. (See “Warning
lights, indicator lights and audible reminders” in
the “2. Instruments and controls” section.)
