■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
● Évitez de faire subir des chocs ou des pressions excessives aux parties
renfermant les composants de coussins gonflables SRS.
En effet, cela pourrait entraîner un dysfonctionnement des cous sins gon-
flables SRS.
● Ne touchez aucun composant immédiatement après le déploiement (gon-
flage) des coussins gonflables SRS, car ils peuvent être chauds.
● Si vous avez des difficultés à respirer après le déploiement des coussins
gonflables SRS, ouvrez une porte ou une vitre pour faire entrer de l'air
frais, ou bien descendez du véhicule si cela ne présente pas de danger.
Essuyez tout résidu dès que possible afin d'éviter d'éventuelles irritations
de la peau.
● Si les parties renfermant les coussins gonflables SRS, comme le s garni-
tures du volant et des montants avant et arrière, sont endommag ées ou
craquelées, faites-les remplacer par votre concessionnaire Toyo ta.
● Ne placez rien sur le siège du passager avant, comme un coussin par
exemple. Cela a pour conséquence de répartir le poids du passag er sur
toute la surface du siège, ce qui empêche le capteur de détecter correcte-
ment le poids du passager. En conséquence, les coussins gonflab les fron-
taux SRS du passager avant risquent de ne pas se déployer en ca s de
collision.
