The main SRS airbag system and Pop Up Hood components are shown above.
The SRS airbag system and Pop Up Hood are controlled by the airbag sensor
assembly. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills
the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
When the Pop Up Hood is activated, a non-toxic gas is released due to a chemi-
cal reaction in the lifters, which causes the pistons to eject quickly and raise the
rear portion of the hood. (Pop Up Hood: P. 62)

●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag compo- nents.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS airbags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door orwindow to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any resi-due as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.

sional.

WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install a child rest raint system in a rear seat. In the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as long as the airbag manualon-off system is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment (inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.
■When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to “ON”. If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which may result inserious injury or even death.

WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following when in stalling child restraint system to the front passenger seat if it is unavoidable. The front passenger SRS airbag inflates with considerable speed
and force that if not observed may lead to death or serious injury to the child.
●Never use a rear-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat when the airbag manual on-off switch is on. ( P. 60) The force of the rapid inflation of the front
passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to children in the event of an accident.
●There is a label(s) on the passenger side sunvisor, indicating it is forbidden to attach arear-facing child restraint system to the front
passenger seat. Details of the label(s) are shown in theillustration below.

WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
●Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the
door or the area of the seat, front pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the childrestraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side and curtain shield airbags inflate, and
the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
●When a junior seat is installed, always en sure that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. Th e belt should be kept away from the child’s
neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s shoulder.
When using a child restraint system on a rear seat
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Use child restraint system suitable to the age and size of the child and install it to the rear seat.
●Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the
door or the area of the seat , rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS curtain shield airbag deploys even if the child is se ated in the child restraint system. It is dan- gerous if the SRS curtain shield airbag inflates, and the impact could cause death or
serious injury to the child.
●When installing a forward-facing child
restraint system to the front passenger seat, adjust the seatback to the most upright posi-tion, move the seat to the rearmost position,
raise the seat to the highest position, and then install.If the head restraint interferes with the instal-
lation of the child restraint system, and the head restraint can be removed, remove thehead restraint.
●If the driver’s seat interferes with the child
restraint system and prevents it from being attached correctly, attach the child restraintsystem to the right-hand rear seat (left-hand
drive vehicles) or the left-hand rear seat (right-hand drive vehicles).
●Adjust the front passenger seat so that it does
not interfere with the child restraint system.
