Other information:
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
name is used because the airbag system
supplements the vehicle’s seatbelts.
This vehicle is equipped with a supplemental
restraint system which consists of
seven airbags.
The configurations are as follows.
Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal
airbags
Driver’s and front passenger’s side
airbags
Curtain airbags (for driver, front passenger,
and window-side rear passengers)
Knee airbag for driver
These SRS airbags are designed only
as a supplement to the primary protection
provided by the seatbelt...
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...
