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.
■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 force corresponding to the
severity of the impact. 2 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

Safe Driving■When the passenger airbag off
indicator comes on
The indicator comes on to alert you that the
passenger's airbag has be en 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. 64
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 passenger's airbag
will not deploy.
If the passenger's seat is empty, the
passenger's airbag will not deploy and the
indicator will not come on.
