The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) airbags are designed to provide
further protection for the driver and
passenger in addition to the primary
safety protection provided by the seat
belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS airbags work together with the
seat belts to help reduce injury by inflat-
ing. The SRS airbags help reduce injuries
mainly to the driver ’s or passenger ’s head
or chest caused by hitting the vehicle in-
terior. When the passenger airbag manual
on−off switch is in the “ON” position, the
passenger airbag is activated if there is
no passenger in the seat.
Always wear your seat belt properly.
