uuAirbags uFront Airbags (SRS)
Safe DrivingThe airbags have advanced features to he lp 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.
■Advanced Airbags1 Advanced 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 fo rce corresponding to the
severity of the impact. 2 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Indicator P. 56
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 objec ts 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.•There is no child seat or other object pressing
against the rear of the seat or seat back.
•There is no rear passenger pushing or pulling on

uuAirbags uAirbag System Indicators
Safe Driving■When the passenger front airbag off
indicator comes on
The indicator comes on to alert you that the
front passenger's airbag has been turned off.
This occurs when the weight sensors
determine that a small child or infant is on the
passenger seat.
Children age 12 or under should always ride
properly restrained in a back seat.
2 Child Safety P. 60
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the
indicator to come on. If the indicator is on in
the event of a crash, the front passenger's
airbag will not deploy.
If the front passenger's seat is empty, the
front passenger's airbag will not deploy and
the indicator will not come on.
