system should activate the alarm.
4. Cancel the system by unlocking either
front door or back door with the key or
wireless remote control transmitter.
5. Repeat this operation for the other

further protection for the driver and
front passenger when added to the pri-
mary protection provided by the seat
belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS airbags work together with the
seat belts to help prevent or reduce injury
by inflating, in order to decrease the likeli-

head or chest directly hitting the steering
wheel or dashboard. The passenger airbag
is activated even with no passenger in the
front seat.
