Other information:
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag can function only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
The following airbags deploy independently
of each other since each has its
own impact sensor.
Driver’s SRS side airbag
Front passenger’s SRS side airbag
SRS curtain airbag (right-hand side)
SRS curtain airbag (left-hand side)
Therefore, they may not both deploy in the
same accident...
Chemicals, salts and gravel used for
deicing road surfaces are extremely corrosive,
accelerating the corrosion of underbody
components, such as the exhaust
system, fuel and brake lines, brake cables,
floor pan and fenders, and suspension.
Thoroughly flush the underbody and inside
of the fenders with lukewarm or cold water
at frequent intervals to reduce the harmful
effects of such agents...
