Your vehicle is equipped with side
curtain airbags. These airbags are
stored in the front, center, and rear
pillars on both sides. The front and
rear pillars on both sides are marked
‘‘SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG.’’
In a moderate to severe side impact,
sensors will detect rapid deceleration
and signal the control unit to
instantly inflate the side curtain
airbag on the driver’s or the
passenger’s side of the vehicle. 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.
The SRS indicator alerts
you to a potential problem
with your front airbags, the driver’s
seat position sensor and the front
passenger’s weight sensors (see
page
), or front seat belt
tensioners (see page ).
On models with side airbags, this
indicator will also alert you to a
potential problem with your side
airbags, the passenger’s side airbag
automatic cutoff system (see page
), or the side curtain airbags.
When you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II), this indicator will come on
briefly then go out. This tells you
that the system is working properly.
