Airbag SRS
IMPORTANTINFORMATION
The airbag SRS is not designed to
operate as a result of rear collisions,
minor frontal or minor side impacts, or if
the vehicle overturns; nor will it operate
as a result of heavybraking or driving
over bumps and potholes.
Operation of the airbag SRS is dependent
entirelyon the acceleration or
deceleration forces that are applied to the
vehicle’s passenger compartment as a
result of a collision. The circumstances
affecting different collisions (vehicle
speed, angle of impact, type and size of
object hit for example), varyconsiderably
and will affect the rate of acceleration or
deceleration accordingly.

It follows, therefore, that in some
instances, significant superficialdamage
can occur to the vehicle without the
airbags deploying and, conversely, that in
other circumstances, the airbags will
deploy even though the vehicle has
experienced relativelysmallamounts of
damage.
Airbag inflation is virtuallyinstantaneous and
occurs with considerable force accompanied
by a loud noise. The inflated airbag, together
with the seat belt restraint system, limit the
occupant’s movement, therebyreducing the
riskof injuryto the head and upper torso.
When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is
released. This is not an indication of a
malfunction, however the powder may cause
irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly
flushed from the eyes and any cuts or
abrasions of the skin. After inflation, an airbag
deflates immediately. This provides a gradual
cushioning effect for the occupant and also
ensures that the driver’s forward vision is not
impaired.
Airbags will only deploy when they are
required to supplement the restraining
force of the seat belts.
WARNING
Following inflation, some airbag SRS
components are hot - DONOTtouch until
they have cooled.
