– CONTINUED –
The SRS airbag deploys with considerable force and can injure or
even kill the child.
HB0291
Put children in the REAR seat prop-
erly restrained at all times.
CAUTION
D When the SRS airbag deploys, some smoke will be released.
This smoke could cause breathing problems for people with a
history of asthma or other breathing trouble. If you or your pas-
sengers have breathing problems after SRS airbag deploys, get
fresh air promptly.
D A deploying SRS airbag releases hot gas. Occupants could get
burnt if they come into direct contact with the hot gas.
Your vehicle is equipped with a supplemental restraint system in addition
to a lap/shoulder belt at each front seating position.
The supplemental restraint system (SRS) consists of two airbags (driver’s
and front passenger’s frontal airbags).
These SRS airbags are designed only as a supplement to the prima-
ry protection provided by the seatbelt.
The system also controls front seatbelt pretensioners. For operation,
instructions are precautions concerning the seatbelt pretensioner, see
the “Front seatbelt pretensioner” section in this chapter.
