SRS AIRBAGs deploy as soon as a collision occurs.
After deployment, SRS AIRBAGs start to deflate immediately so that the
driver’s vision is not
obstructed.
The SRS airbags can function only when
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position...
WARNING
When you fold down the seatback,
check that there are no
passengers or objects on the rear
seat. Not doing so creates a risk
of injury or property damage if
the seatback suddenly folds
down.
Never allow passengers to ride
on the folded rear seatback or in
the cargo area...
