Model "S51-D" EDITED: 2008/ 3/ 26
Roof-mounted curtain side-impact and
rollover supplemental air bag system: This
system can help cushion the impact force
to the head of occupants in front and rear
outboard seating positions in certain side
impact or rollover collisions. In a side
impact, the curtain and rollover air bags
are designed to inflate on the side where
the vehicle is impacted. In a rollover both
curtain and rollover air bags are designed
to inflate and remain inflated for a short
period of time.
These supplemental restraint systems are
designed to supplement the crash protec-
tion provided by the driver and passenger
seat belts and are not a substitute for
them. Seat belts should always be cor-
rectly worn and the occupant seated a
suitable distance away from the steering
wheel, instrument pane l and door fin-
ishers. (See “SEAT BELTS” earlier in this
section for instructions and precautions on
seat belt usage.)
The supplemental air bags operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warn-
ing light illuminates. The supplemental air
bag warning light will turn off after about
7 seconds if the systems are operational.
