For safety and security
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As
the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the
airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-
pants.
WARNING
■ SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devic es to be used with the seat belts.
● The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.)
of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm ( 10 in.) from your driver airbag pro-
vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from
the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than
250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in sev-
eral ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the
road, raise yourself by using a firm , non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-
bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still maintaining
control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument
panel controls.

The intrusion sensor detects intruders or movement in the vehicle.
When an intruder or movement is detected, the alarm will be trig-
gered.
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.
■Setting the intrusion sensor
The intrusion sensor will be set automatically when the alarm is set.
( P. 8 9 )
■Canceling the intrusion sensor
If you are leaving pets or other moving things inside the vehicle,
make sure to disable the intrusion sensor before setting the alarm,
as it will respond to movement inside the vehicle.
Turn the engine switch to the lock position (vehicles without
smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry &
start system).
Press the intrusion sensor
cancel switch.
Pressing the switch again will
re-enable the intrusion sensor.
■ Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor
● The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor is canceled.
● Vehicles without smart entry & start system: After the intrusion sensor is
canceled, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position or unlocking the
doors using the wireless remote control will re-enable the intrusion sensor.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system: After the intrusion sensor is can-
celed, pressing the engine switch or unlocking the doors using the entry
function or wireless remote control will re-enable the intrusion sensor.
● The intrusion sensor will automatically be re-enabled when the alarm sys-
tem is deactivated.
