The SRS airbag deploys with considerable force and can injure or even kill the child. Put children in the REAR seat properly restrained at all times. HB0291 D When the SRS airbag deploys, some smoke will be released. This smoke could cause breathing problems for people with a history of asthma or other breathing trouble. If you or your passengers have breathing problems after SRS airbag deploys, get fresh air promptly. D A deploying SRS airbag releases hot gas. Occupants could get burnt if they come into direct contact with the hot gas. The supplemental restraint system (SRS) consists of two airbags (driver's and front passenger's frontal airbags) or four airbags (driver's and front passenger's frontal airbags and driver's and front passenger's side airbags). These SRS airbags are designed only as a supplement to the primary protection provided by the seatbelt. The system also controls front seatbelt pretensioners. For operation, instructions are precautions concerning the seatbelt pretensioner, see the "Front seatbelt pretensioner" section in this chapter. CAUTION 1-56
