If the impact is on the passenger’s
side, the passenger’s side curtain
airbag will inflate even if there are no
occupants on that side of the vehicle.

To get the best protection from the
side curtain airbags, occupants
should wear their seat belts and sit
upright and well back in their seats.

If the indicator comes on or
flashes on and off while you drive.

If the indicator stays on after the
engine starts.

If the SRS indicator does not come
on after you turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position.

The SRS indicator alerts
you to a potential problem

with your airbags, seat belt
tensioners, and, on models with
CMBS, seat belt e-pretensioners.

If the indicator comes on at any
other time, or does not come on at all,
you should have the system checked
by your dealer. For example:

In a moderate to severe side impact,
sensors will detect rapid acceleration
and signal the control unit to
instantly inflate the side curtain
airbag and activate the seat belt
tensioner on the driver’s or the
passenger’s side of the vehicle.

When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, this indicator
comes on briefly then goes off. This
tells you the system is working
properly.
