Important safety notes
G WARNING
Modifications to or work improperly con-
ducted on restraint system components or
their wiring, as well as tampering with inter-
connected electronic systems, can lead to the
restraint systems no longer functioning as
intended.
Air bags or Emergency Tensioning Devices
(ETDs), for example, could deploy inadver-
tently or fail to deploy in accidents although
the deceleration threshold for air bag deploy-
ment is exceeded. Therefore, never modify
the restraint systems. Do not tamper with
electronic components or their software.
In this section, you will learn the most impor-
tant facts about the restraint system compo-
nents of the vehicle.
The restraint system consists of:
R
Seat belts
R
Child restraint systems
Additional protection is provided by:
R SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
R Air bag system components with:
- PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
- Front-passenger seat with Occupant
Classification System (OCS)
Although the systems are independent, their
protective functions work in conjunction with
each other. Not all air bags are always
deployed in an accident.
