The driver’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed in the center portion of the
steering wheel. The passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed near the
top of the dashboard under an “SRS AIRBAG” mark.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision, the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbags deploy and supplement the seatbelts by reduc-
ing the impact on the driver’s and front passenger’s head and chest.
B Operation
CAUTION
Do not touch the SRS airbag system components around the
steering wheel and dashboard with bare hands right after deploy-
ment. Doing so can cause burns because the components can be
very hot as a result of deployment.
