Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
– CONTINUED –
do away with the need to fasten seatbelts. It is
also important to wear your seatbelt to help
avoid injuries that can result when an occupant
is not seated in a proper upright position.
" Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to ei-
ther front door. The SRS side airbag is stored in
both front seat seatbacks next to the door, and
it provides protection by deploying rapidly
(faster than the blink of an eye) in the event of a
side impact collision. However, the force of
SRS side airbag deployment may cause injuries
if your head or other body parts are too close to
the SRS side airbag.
"
Since your vehicle is equipped with SRS cur-
tain airbags, do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the front or rear door on either side.
The SRS curtain airbag on each side of the cab-
in is stored in the roof side (between the front
pillar and a point over the rear seat), and it pro-
vides protection by deploying rapidly (faster
than the blink of an eye) in the event of a side
impact. However, the force of its deployment
may cause injuries if your head is too close to
it.
