The air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is designed to provide increased collision protection for front seat and second row outboard 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 Safety Canopy® modules. Safety belt use is necessary to obtain the best occupant protection and to receive the full advantage of the SRS .
