Operation Manual

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag
4-30 Seat and restraint systems
4
The front airbags may deploy if the underside
of the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe
impact (undercarriage impact). Some typical
situations are shown in the illustrations.
Because the front airbags may deploy in cer-
tain types of unexpected impacts, as shown in
the illustrations, and these unexpected
impacts can move you out of position, it is
important to always wear your seat belts
properly. When worn properly, seat belts can
help maintain your distance from the airbags
when they begin to inflate. The beginning
stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful
and can cause serious injury or death if you
are close to the deploying airbag.
The front airbags MAY DEPLOY
when …
Collision with an elevated median/island or curb
Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
Vehicle drives down a
steep slope and hits the
ground
WARNING
 Do not attach anything to the steering
wheel’s padded cover, such as trim mate-
rial, badges, etc. These could strike and
injure an occupant if the airbag inflates.
 Do not set anything on, or attach anything
to, the instrument panel above the glove
compartment. Such items could strike and
injure an occupant if the airbag inflates.
WARNING
 Do not attach accessories to, or put them
in front of, the windshield. They could
restrict the airbag inflation, or strike and
injure an occupant, when the airbag
inflates.
 Do not attempt to remove, install, disas-
semble or repair the SRS airbags.
