Types of Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with four types of airbags:
• Front airbags: Airbags in front of the driv er’s and passenger’s seats.
• Driver’s knee airbag: Airbag under the steering column.
• Side airbags: Airbags in the driver’s a nd passenger’s seat-backs.
• Side curtain airbags: Airbags above the side windows.
Each is discussed in the following pages.
Front Airbags (SRS)
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to -severe frontal collision to help protect
the head and chest of the driver and/or passenger.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indica tes that the airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant’s primary
restraint system.
The front airbags are housed in the center of the steering wheel for the driver, and
in the dashboard for the passe nger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.
■Housing Locations
1Types of Airbags
The airbags can inflate whenever the power mode is
in ON.
After an airbag inflates in a crash, you may see a
small amount of smoke. This is from the combustion
process of the infl ator material and is not harmful.
People with respiratory pr oblems may experience
some temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get out of
the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
1 Front Airbags (SRS)
During a frontal crash severe enough to cause one or
both front airbags to deploy, the airbags can inflate
at different rates, dependi ng on the severity of the
crash, whether or not the se at belts are latched, and/
or other factors. Frontal airbags are designed to
supplement the seat belts to help reduce the
likelihood of head and chest injuries in frontal
crashes.

uuAirbags uFront Airbags (SRS)
Safe DrivingThe passenger’s airbag have advanced f eatures to help reduce the likelihood of
airbag related injuries to a smaller occupant. The passenger’s advanced airbag system has
weight sensors. The sensors are used for
occupant classification to activate or
deactivate the passenger’s airbag.
For adult size occupant s, the system will
automatically activate the passenger’s airbag.
If a small adult sits in the passenger seat and
the system does not recognize him/her as an
adult, see
2 Passenger Airbag Off Indicator P. 58
We advise against allowing a child age 12 or under to ride in the passenger’s seat.
However, if you do allow a small child or in fant to ride in the passenger’s seat, the
system is designed to automatically deacti vate the passenger’s airbag. Do not let a
small child or infant ride in the passenger’ s seat if the airbag does not automatically
deactivate.
■Advanced Airbags1 Advanced Airbags
If there is a problem with the passenger’s seat weight
sensors, the SRS indicator will come on, and in the
event of a crash, the airbag will deploy (regardless of
the passenger’s occupant cl assification) with a force
corresponding to the se verity of the impact.
2 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Indicator P. 57
For the advanced front airbags to work properly,
confirm that:
•The occupant is sitting in an upright position,
wearing the seat belt prope rly and the seat-back is
not excessively reclined.
•The occupant is not leaning against the door or
center console.
•The occupant’s feet are plac ed on the floor in front
of them.
•There are no objects hanging from the passenger’s
seat.
•The steering wheel and passenger’s side dashboard
are not obstructed by any object.
•No liquid has been spille d on or under the seat.
•There are no objects placed under or beside the
passenger’s seat. Improperly positioned objects can
interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.
