The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags are designed to provide further
protection for the driver, front passen-
ger and rear outside passengers in
addition to the primary safety protec-
tion provided by the seat belts.In response to a severe side impact, the
SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags work with the seat belts to help
reduce injury by inflating. The SRS side
airbags help reduce injuries mainly to the
driver ’s or front passenger ’s chest. The
SRS curtain shield airbags help reduce
injuries mainly to the driver’s, front pas-
senger ’s or rear outside passenger ’s head
and help prevent them from being thrown
out of the vehicle.
The SRS side airbag on the passenger
seat will not activate if there is no pas-
senger sitting in the front passenger seat.
However, the side airbag on the passen-
ger seat may deploy if luggage is put in
the seat. (As for the front passenger oc-
cupant classification system, see “Front
passenger occupant classification system”
on page 61 in this Section.)
The SRS curtain shield airbag on the pas-
senger side are activated even with no
passenger in the front seat or rear outside
seat.
The SRS curtain shield airbags may acti-
vate even when the side airbags are not
activated.
