ACTIVE RESTRAINTS
The active restraints for this model include:
²Front Seat Belts- Both front seating positions
are equipped with three-point seat belt systems
employing a lower B-pillar mounted inertia latch-
type retractor, height-adjustable upper B-pillar
mounted turning loops, a fixed lower seat belt anchor
secured to the lower B-pillar, and a fixed end-release
seat belt buckle secured to the side of the floor panel
transmission tunnel. Both front seat belt buckles
include an integral Hall-effect seat belt switch that
detects whether its respective seat belt has been fas-
tened.
²Rear Seat Belts- Both outboard rear seating
positions are equipped with three-point seat belt sys-
tems. The outboard seating position belts employ a
lower C-pillar mounted inertia latch-type retractor,
height-adjustable upper C-pillar mounted turning
loops, and a fixed lower seat belt anchor secured to
the floor panel. The center rear seating position of
vehicles manufactured for sale in North America has
a lap belt that is anchored to the rear floor panel
with the right outboard seat belt buckle. Vehicles
manufactured for sale outside of North America are
equipped with a three-point seat belt in the rear seat
center seating position. This seat belt has an inertia
latch-type retractor that is integral to the rear seat
back panel, and the lower belt anchor is secured to
the rear floor panel with the right outboard seat belt
buckle. A cable from the seat back latch locks the
center belt retractor spool unless the seat back is
fully latched. All three rear seat belts have fixed end-
release seat belt buckles secured to the rear floor
panel, a single buckle unit on the right side and a
double buckle unit on the left side.
²Child Seat Tether Anchors- All vehicles are
equipped with three, fixed-position, child seat upper
tether anchors and two lower anchors. Two upper
anchors are integral to the back of the right rear seat
back panel, and one is integral to the left rear seat
back panel. The two lower anchors are integral to the
outboard rear seat back brackets.
PASSIVE RESTRAINTS
The passive restraints available for this model
include the following:
²Dual Front Airbags- Multistage driver and
front passenger airbags are available for this model.
This airbag system is a passive, inflatable, Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS) and vehicles with
this equipment can be readily identified by the ªSRS
- AIRBAGº logo molded into the driver airbag trim
cover in the center of the steering wheel and also
into the passenger airbag door area of the instru-
ment panel top pad above the glove box (Fig. 2).
Vehicles with the airbag system can also be identifiedby the airbag indicator, which will illuminate in the
instrument cluster for about seven seconds as a bulb
test each time the ignition switch is turned to the On
position.
²Side Curtain Airbags- Optional side curtain
airbags are available for this model when it is also
equipped with dual front airbags. This airbag system
is a passive, inflatable, Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem (SRS) and vehicles with this equipment can be
readily identified by a molded identification trim but-
ton with the ªSRS - AIRBAGº logo located on the
headliner above each B-pillar (Fig. 2).
The supplemental restraint system includes the
following major components, which are described in
further detail elsewhere in this service information:
²Airbag Control Module- The Airbag Control
Module (ACM) is also sometimes referred to as the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). The ACM is
located on a mount on the floor panel transmission
tunnel near the park brake release mechanism,
under the center floor console.
²Airbag Indicator- The airbag indicator is inte-
gral to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC), which is located on the instrument panel in
front of the driver.
²Clockspring- The clockspring is located near
the top of the steering column, directly beneath the
steering wheel.
²Driver Airbag- The driver airbag is located in
the center of the steering wheel, beneath the driver
airbag trim cover.
²Driver Knee Blocker- The driver knee blocker
is a structural unit secured to the back side of and
integral to the instrument panel steering column
opening cover.
²Front Impact Sensor- Two front impact sen-
sors are used on vehicles equipped with dual front
airbags, one left side and one right side. One sensor
is located on a bracket on the lower inboard side of
each vertical member of the radiator support.

RESTRAINTS (Continued)
(4) For the right impact sensor and bracket unit,
the tightening sequence for the three screws that
secure it to the right radiator support vertical mem-
ber is from top to bottom. For the left impact sensor
and bracket unit, the tightening sequence for the
three screws that secure it to the left radiator sup-
port vertical member is from bottom to top. Tighten
the screws to 12 N´m (105 in. lbs.).
(5) Reconnect the right or left headlamp and dash
wire harness connector for the front impact sensor to
the sensor connector receptacle.
(6) Reinstall the headlamp mounting module to
the front of the vehicle. (Refer to 23 - BODY/EXTE-

this time. The supplemental restraint system verifi-
cation test procedure should be performed following
service of any supplemental restraint system compo-
nent. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS -
