KNEE AIRBAG
A driver’s knee airbag is located under or within the instrument panel.
During a crash, the restraints control module may activate the driver’s
knee airbag based on crash severity and occupant conditions. Under
certain crash and occupant conditions, the driver’s knee airbag may
deploy but the driver’s front airbag may not activate. As with front and
side airbags, it is important to be properly seated and restrained to
reduce the risk of death or serious injury.
To know if the knee airbag is operating properly, seeCrash
Sensors and Airbag Indicatorin this chapter.
