The airbag supplementary restraint system 
(SRS) provides additional protection for the 
driver and front passenger, in the event of a 
collision or severe frontal impact on the vehicle.

seated, with seat belts properly worn, the 
airbags will provide additional protection to the 
chest and facial areas in the event of the car 
receiving a severe frontal impact.

WARNING
Following inflation, some SRS/airbag 
components are hot - DO NOT touch until they 
have cooled.
Even with SRS/airbag equipment fitted, seat 
belts must ALWAYS be worn because:
•An airbag will only provide additional 
protection in certain types of frontal 
collisions. NO protection is afforded 
against the effects of side or rear impacts, 
roll over accidents, or minor frontal 
impacts.
•Inflation and deflation take place 
instantaneously and will not provide 
protection against...

event of a severe frontal impact, it is necessary

and other injuries if the occupant is too close to 
the airbag at the time of its deployment.
WARNING
•To reduce the risk of accidental injury from 
inflating airbags, seat belts should be 
correctly worn at all times. In addition, 
both driver and front seat passenger
