SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)
62
NOTEWhen you sell your vehicle, we urge
you to inform the buyer that the vehicle
is equipped with SRS airbags. Also,
notify the buyer of the applicable
section in this Owner’s Manual.
 If the SRS airbag deploys, fuel
supply will be cut off to reduce the risk
of fire caused by leaking fuel. For
details about restarting of the engine,
refer to "If Your Ve hicle Is Involved in
an Accident" P328.
 Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the SRS airbag. Because
the SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force to
protect in high speed collisions,
the force of an airbag can injure
an occupant whose body is too
close to SRS airbag.
It is also important to wear
seatbelts to help avoid injuries
that can result when the SRS
airbag contacts an occupant not
in their proper position.Even when properly positioned,
there remains a possibility that
an occupant may suffer minor
injury, such as abrasions and
bruises to the face or arms,
because of the SRS airbag
deployment force.
WARNING
 Keep arms away from either door
or its internal trim. They could be
injured in the event of SRS side
airbag deployment. Do not place any objects over or
near the SRS airbag cover or
between you and the SRS airbag.
If the SRS airbag deploys, these
objects could interfere with its
proper operation and could be
propelled inside the vehicle,
causing injury.
102009
CAUTION
 When the SRS airbag deploys,
some smoke will be released.
This smoke could cause
breathing problems for people
with a history of asthma or other
breathing trouble. If you or your
passengers have breathing prob-
lems after SRS airbag deploys,
get fresh air promptly. A deploying SRS airbag releases
hot gas. Occupants could get
burned if they come into direct
contact with the hot gas.
