generators, causing the airbags to be inflated with nitrogen gas.
As the movement of the seats' occupants compresses the airbags, some of \
the gas is expelled at a
controlled rate to provide better cushioning. Both seat belt tensioners \
also deploy, minimizing seat belt
slack. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airb\
ags, takes approximately one fifth of
a second.
The location of the front airbags is indicated by "SRS AIRBAG" embossed \
on the steering wheel pad and
above the glove compartment, and by decals on both sun visors and on the\
front and far right side of the
dash.
l The driver's side front airbag is folded and located in the steering whe\
el hub.
l The passenger's side front airbag is folded behind a panel located above\
the glove compartment.
WARNING
l The airbags in the vehicle are designed to be a SUPPLEMENT to - not a re\
placement for - the three-
point seat belts. For maximum protection, wear seat belts at all times. \
Be aware that no system can
prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
l Never drive a vehicle with a steering wheel-mounted airbag with your han\
ds on the steering wheel
pad/airbag housing.
l The front airbags are designed to help prevent serious injury. Deploymen\
t occurs very quickly and
with considerable force. During normal deployment and depending on varia\
bles such as seating
position, one may experience abrasions, bruises, swellings, or other inj\
uries as a result from deployment
of one or both of the airbags.
l When installing any accessory equipment, make sure that the front airbag\
system is not damaged.
Any interference in the system could cause malfunction.
