Knowing your vehicle
The advanced SRS offers the ability
to control the airbag inflation with two
levels. A first stage level is provided
for moderate-severity impacts. A sec-
ond stage level is provided for more
severe impacts.
According to the impact severity,
seating position and safety belt
usage, the SRSCM (SRS Control
Module) controls the airbag inflation.
Failure to properly wear safety
belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury in an accident.
Additionally, your SRS is equipped
with an occupant classification sys-
tem in the front passenger’s seat.
The occupant classification system
detects the presence of a passenger
in the front passenger’s seat and will
turn off the front passenger’s airbag
under certain conditions. For more
detail, see “Occupant Classification
System” later in this section.

Failure to properly wear safety

Do not place any objects

which could damage the seat
position sensor or interfere
with the occupant classifica-
tion system.

may cause magnetic fields
near the front seat.These may
cause a malfunction of the
