Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS): Notes
The air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is designed to provide increased collision protection for front seat occupants in addition to that provided by the 3-point safety belt system. The SRS will also provide increased collision protection for the rear occupants when equipped with optional side air curtains. Safety belt use is necessary to obtain the best occupant protection and to receive the full advantage of the SRS.
This vehicle line contains dual-stage deployment (advanced restraint system) driver and front passenger air bag modules. These vehicles are also equipped with seat side air bag modules and optional side air curtain modules.
Vehicles equipped with side air curtain modules are also equipped with seat side thorax air bag modules. Vehicles that are not equipped with side air curtain modules are equipped with seat side air bag modules. Seat side air bag modules and seat side thorax air bag modules deploy from the outboard front seat backrest upon a side impact. Side air curtain modules deploy from the headliner, protecting the first and second row outboard occupants during a side impact.
