Airbag SRS

AIRBAG SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM

(SRS)

The airbag SRS provides ADDITIONAL protection in a

severe impact only. It does not replace the need to wear a seat

belt.

The airbag SRS incorporates a driver’s airbag, front passenger

airbag and optional side airbags for both front seats.

Provided the front seat occupants are correctly seated, with seat

belts properly worn, the airbags provide additional protection to

the chest and facial areas in the event of the car receiving a severe

frontal impact, and to the side of the body facing the impact, if a

severe side collision occurs.

NOTE: Inflation and deflation of the airbags takes place very quickly and

will not protect against the effects of secondary impacts that may occur.

The front airbags are located in the centre pad of the steering

wheel and in the fascia panel above the glovebox. Side airbags are

positioned in the backrest padding on the outward side of both

front seats.

Do not allow a front seat passenger to obstruct the operation of

the airbag by placing feet, knees or any other part of the person,

or any other objects in contact with, or in close proximity to, an

airbag module.
