Safe Driving
The front, front side, and side curtain 
airbags are deployed according to the 
direction and severity of impact. Both side 
curtain airbags are deployed in a rollover. 
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 side airbags, one for the driver and 
one for a front passenger. The airbags are 
stored in the outer edges of the seat-
backs. Both are marked  SIDE AIRBAG.
cTwo side curtain ai rbags, 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 .
dAn electronic control unit that, when the 
ignition switch is ON 
(w*1, 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.
eAutomatic front seat belt tensioners. In 
addition, the driver’s and front 
passenger’s seat belt  buckles incorporate 
sensors that detect whether or not the 
belts are fastened.
fA driver’s seat position sensor. This 
sensor determines the optimal force at 
which the airbag will deploy in a crash.
gWeight sensors in the front passenger’s 
seat. The front passenger’s airbag will be 
turned off if the weight on the seat is 
approximately 65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the 
weight of an infant or small child).
hImpact sensors that can detect a 
moderate-to-severe front or side impact.
iAn indicator on the dashboard that alerts 
you that the front passenger’s front 
airbag has been turned off.
jAn indicator on the instrument panel that 
alerts you to a possible problem with your 
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
kA rollover sensor that can detect if your 
vehicle is about to ro ll over and signal the 
control unit to deploy both side curtain 
airbags.
*1 : Models with the smart entry system have an  ENGINE START/STOP  button instead of an ignition 
switch.

Safe DrivingAirbags can pose serious hazards. To do  their job, airbags must inflate with 
tremendous force. So, while airbags help save lives, they can cause burns, bruises, 
and other minor injuries, sometimes even fatal ones if occupants are not wearing 
their seat belts properly and sitting correctly.
What you should do:  Always wear your seat belt pr operly, 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  can prevent all injuries or deaths that 
can occur in a severe crash,  even when seat 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 object s on the front 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 hand s and arms out of the 
deployment path of the front airbag by holding each 
side of the steering wheel.  Do not cross an arm over 
the airbag cover.

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.
We advise against allowing a child age 12 or 
under to ride in the front passenger’s seat. 
However,  if you do allow a child age 12 or 
under to ride in the front passenger’s 
seat , note that the system will automatically 
turn off the front passenger’s airbag if the 
sensors detect that the child is approximately 
65 lbs (29 kg) or less.
■Advanced Airbags1 Advanced Airbags
If there is a problem with the driver’s seat position 
sensor, the SRS indicator wi ll come on, and in the 
event of a crash, the airbag  will deploy (regardless of 
the driver’s seating position) with a force 
corresponding to the se verity of the impact.
For the advanced airbags to work properly:
•Do not spill any liquid on or under the seats.
•Do not put any object under the passenger’s seat.
•Make sure any objects are positioned properly on 
the floor. Improperly pos itioned objects can 
interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.
•All occupants should sit upri ght and wear their seat 
belts properly.
•Do not cover the passenger ’s side dashboard with 
a cloth, towel, cover, etc. 2Passenger Front Airbag Off Indicator

uuChild Safety uProtecting Child Passengers
Safe Driving
• Any child who is too small to wear a seat  belt correctly must be restrained in an 
approved child seat that is  properly secured to the vehicl e using either seat belt or 
the lower anchors of the LATCH system.
• 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.
• Do not allow children to operate the  doors, windows or seat adjustments.
• Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended, 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.1Protecting 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. 74
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.

Controls
If you open the driver’s door when the power mode is set to ACCESSORY, a warning 
beep sounds.
Warning buzzers may sound from inside and/
or outside the vehicle to remind you that the 
smart entry remote is out of the vehicle. If the 
buzzer continues even after the remote is put 
back inside, place it to be within its 
operational range.
■When the power mode is in ON
If the smart entry remote is taken out of the 
vehicle, and the driver’s door is closed, a 
warning buzzer sounds from both inside and 
outside the vehicle. A warning message on the 
information display notifies  the driver inside that 
the remote is outside of the vehicle.
■When the power mode is in 
ACCESSORY
If the smart entry remote is taken out of the 
vehicle, and all the doors are closed, a 
warning buzzer sounds from outside the 
vehicle.
■Power Mode Reminder
■Smart Entry Remote Reminder1 Smart Entry Remote Reminder
When the smart entry remote is within the system’s 
operational range, and the driv er’s door is closed, the 
warning function cancels.
If the smart entry remote is taken out of the vehicle 
after the engine has been started, you can no longer 
change the  ENGINE START/STOP  button mode or 
restart the engine. Always make sure if the remote is 
in your vehicle when you operate the  ENGINE 
START/STOP  button.
Removing the smart entry remote from the vehicle 
through a window does not  activate the warning 
buzzer.
Do not put the smart entr y remote on the dashboard 
or in the glove box. It may cause the warning buzzer 
to go off. Under some  other conditions that can 
prevent the vehicle from locating the remote, the 
warning buzzer may al so go off even if the remote is 
within the system’s  operational range.
