WARNING
Do not put any objects (including
straps or cord) over the steering
wheel pad, column cover, or
dashboard.
- These objects could be entan-
gled with the steering wheel,
preventing the SRS frontal
airbag, etc. from operating
properly.- If the SRS frontal airbagdeploys, these objects could
be propelled inside the
vehicle, causing injury.
Do not put any objects under the
driver’s side of the instrument
panel. If the SRS knee airbag
deploys, those objects could
interfere with its proper operation
and could be propelled inside the
vehicle, causing injury.
WARNING
Do not attach accessories to the
windshield, or fit an extra-wide mir-
ror over the inside rear view mirror.
If the SRS airbag deploys, those
objects could become projectiles
that could seriously injure vehicle
occupants.

WARNING
Do not attach accessories to the
door trim or near either SRS side
airbags and do not place objects
near the SRS side airbags. In the
event of SRS side airbag deploy-
ment, they could be propelled
dangerously toward the vehicle’s
occupants and cause injuries.

The front impact sensors
 The impact sensors in the airbag
control module
On the driver’s side, the SRS knee airbag
also inflates with the SRS frontal airbag.
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbags use dual stage inflators.
The two inflators of each airbag are trig-
gered either sequentially or simultane-
ously, depending on the severity of
impact, in the case of the driver’s SRS
frontal airbag and depending on the
severity of impact and the characteristic of
item(s) or person on the seat in the case
of the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag.
▼
After deployment
After deployment, the SRS airbag immedi-
ately starts to deflate so that the driver’s
vision is not obstructed and the driver’s
ability to maintain control of the vehicle is
not impaired. The time required from
detecting impact to the deflation of the
SRS airbag after deployment is shorter
than the blink of an eye.
Both when only the driver’s SRS frontal
airbag deploys and the driver’s and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbags deploy,
the driver’s and front passenger’s seatbelt
pretensioners operate at the same time. When the SRS airbag deploys, a sudden,
fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and
some smoke will be released. These
occurrences are a normal result of the
deployment. This smoke does not indicate
a fire in the vehicle.
▼
Example of the type of accident
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are
designed as follows.
 To deploy in the event of an accident
involving a moderate to severe frontal
collision
 To function on a one-time-only basis
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are not
designed as follows.
 To deploy in most lesser frontal
impacts
*1
 To deploy in most side or rear impacts
or in most rollover accidents
*2
*1: Because the necessary protection can be achieved by the seatbelt alone.
*2: Because deployment of only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag or both the driver’s and
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags would
not protect the occupant in those situations.SRS airbag deployment depends on the
level of force experienced in the
passenger compartment during a colli-
sion. That level differs from one type of
collision to another, and it may have no
bearing on the visible damage done to the
vehicle itself.
CAUTION
Do not touch the SRS airbag system
components around the steering
wheel and dashboard with bare
hands right after deployment. Doing
so can cause burns because the
components can be very hot as a
result of deployment.

Stow cargo and luggage in the
trunk whenever possible.To prevent cargo and luggage
from sliding forward during
braking, do not stack anything in
the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo
and luggage low, as close to the
floor as possible.When you carry something inside
the vehicle, secure it whenever
you can to prevent it from being
thrown around inside the vehicle
during sudden stops, sharp turns
or in an accident.Secure long items properly to
prevent them from shooting
forward and causing serious
injury during a sudden stop.Never exceed the maximum load
limit. If you do, some parts on
your vehicle can break, or it can
change the way your vehicle
handles. This could result in loss
of control and cause personal
injury. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.
