Safe Driving
The front, driver’s knee, front passenger’s 
knee, side, and side curtain airbags are 
deployed according to the direction and 
severity of impact. Both side curtain airbags 
are deployed in a ro llover. The airbag 
system includes:
aTwo SRS (Supplemental  Restraint System) 
front airbags. The driver’s airbag is stored 
in the center of the steering wheel; the 
front passenger’s airbag is stored in the 
dashboard. Both are marked  SRS 
AIRBAG.
bTwo knee airbags. Th e driver’s knee 
airbag is stored under the steering 
column; the front passenger’s knee 
airbag is stored under the glove box. 
Both are marked  SRS AIRBAG.
cFour side airbags. One for the driver, one 
for the front passenger, and two for the 
rear outboard seating positions. The front 
airbags are stored in the outer edges of 
the seat-backs and the rear airbags are 
stored next to the outer rear seating 
positions. All are marked  SIDE AIRBAG.
dTwo side curtain airbags, one for each 
side of the vehicle. The airbags are stored 
in the ceiling, above the side windows. 
The front and rear pillars are marked 
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG .
eAn electronic control unit that, when the 
power mode is in ON, continually 
monitors information about the various 
impact sensors, seat and buckle sensors, 
rollover sensor, airbag activators, seat 
belt tensioners, and other vehicle, 
information. During  a crash event, the 
unit can record such information.
fSeat belt tensioners for the front seats 
and outer rear seats. In addition, the 
driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt 
buckles incorporate sensors that detect 
whether or not the belts are fastened.
gDriver’s seat position sensor. This sensor 
detects the driver’s seat slide position to 
help determine the optimal deployment 
of the driver’s airbag.

seat. The sensors are used for occupant 
classification to activa te or deactivate the 
front passenger’s airbag.

uuAirbags uAirbag System Components
Safe DrivingAirbags can pose serious hazards. To do  their job, airbags must inflate with 
tremendous force. So, while airbags help sa ve lives, they can cause burns, bruises, 
and other minor injuries, sometimes even fatal ones if occupants are not wearing 
their seat belts properl y and sitting correctly.
What you should do:  Always wear your seat belt properly and sit upright and as 
far back from the steering wheel as possi ble while allowing full control of the 
vehicle. A front passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as 
possible.
Remember, however, that no safety system ca n prevent all injuries or deaths that 
can occur in a severe crash, even when s eat belts are properly worn and the airbags 
deploy.
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag.  
Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp 
object in your mouth, can result in in juries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on  the front, driver’s knee, and front 
passenger’s knee airbag covers.  Objects on the covers marked SRS AIRBAG 
could interfere with the proper operation of the airbags or be propelled inside the 
vehicle and hurt someone if the airbags inflate.
■Important Facts About Your Airbags1 Important Facts About Your Airbags
Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags. Together, 
airbags and seat belts pr ovide the best protection.
When driving, keep hands and arms out of the 
deployment path of the fro nt airbag by holding each 
side of the steering wheel.  Do not cross an arm over 
the airbag cover.

uuAirbags uTypes of Airbags
Safe Driving
Types of Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with four types of airbags:
• Front airbags:  Airbags in front of the driver’s and front passenger’s seats.
• Knee airbags:  Airbags under the steering column and under the glove box.
• Side airbags:  Airbags in the driver’s and front  passenger’s outer seat-backs and 
next to the outer rear seating positions.
• 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 front passenger.
SRS  (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates 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 front pass enger. 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 airbags have advanced features to help  reduce the likelihood of airbag related 
injuries to smaller occupants. The driver’s advanced airbag system includes a 
seat position sensor.
Based on information from  this sensor and the 
severity of the impact, the advanced airbag 
system determines the optimal deployment of 
the driver’s airbag.
The front passenger’s ad vanced airbag system 
has weight sensors. The sensors are used for 
occupant classification to activate or 
deactivate the front passenger’s airbag.
For adult size occupant s, the system will 
automatically activate the front passenger’s 
airbag. If a small adult sits in the front 
passenger seat and the system does not 
recognize him/her as an adult, see
2 Passenger Airbag Off Indicator P. 71
■Advanced Airbags1Advanced Airbags
If there is a problem with the driver’s seat position 
sensor or the passenger’s s eat weight sensors, the 
SRS indicator will come on, and in the event of a 
crash, the airbag will deploy (regardless of the driver’s 
seating position or  passenger’s occupant 
classification) with a force corresponding to the 
severity of the impact. 2 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) 
Indicator  P. 70
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 ha nging from the front 
passenger’s seat.
•Only small, lightweight objects are in the seat-back 
pocket.
•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.

uuChild Safety uProtecting Child Passengers
Safe Driving
• Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in the 
event of a collision.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself and  a child. During a crash, the belt would 
likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.
• Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very 
seriously injured in a crash.
• Any child who is too small to wear a seat  belt correctly must be restrained in an 
approved child seat that is properly secu red to the vehicle using either the seat 
belt or the lower anchors of the LATCH system.
• Do not allow children to operate the d oors, windows, or seat adjustments.
• Do not leave children in the vehicle unatte nded, especially in hot weather when 
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough  to kill them. They could also activate 
vehicle controls causing it to move unexpectedly.1 Protecting Child Passengers
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle 
and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way.
To remind you of the pa ssenger’s front airbag 
hazards and child safety,  your vehicle has warning 
labels on the dashboard (U.S. models) and on the 
front visors. Please read and follow the instructions 
on these labels. 2 Safety Labels  P. 88
3WARNING
Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or 
wrap one around their neck can result in 
serious injury or death.
Instruct children not to play with any seat 
belt and make sure any unused seat belt a 
child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, 
and locked.
