uuAirbags uAirbag System Components
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 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.
dAn electronic control unit that continually 
monitors and can record information 
about the sensors, the airbag activators, 
the seat belt tensioners, and driver and 
front passenger seat belt use when the 
power mode is in ON.eAutomatic front seat belt tensioners. The 
driver's and front passenger's seat belts 
incorporate sensors that detect whether 
or not they are fastened.fA driver's seat position sensor. If the seat 
is too far forward, the airbag will inflate 
with less force.gWeight sensors in the front passenger's 
seat. The front passenger's airbag will be 
turned off if the weight on the seat is 65 
lbs (29 kg) or less (the weight of an infant 
or small child).

uuAirbags uTypes of Airbags
Safe Driving
Types of AirbagsYour vehicle is equipped with three types of airbags:
• Front airbags:  Airbags in front of the driver's and front passenger's seats.
• Side airbags:  Airbags in the driver's and front passenger's seat-backs.
• 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 passenger. 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 inflator ma terial and is not harmful. 
People with respiratory problems 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)
Dual-Stage, Multiple-Threshold Front Airbags 
(SRS)
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-stage, multiple-
threshold 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, depending on the severity of the 
crash, whether or not the seat 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 uSide Curtain Airbags
Safe Driving
Side Curtain AirbagsThe side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers in outer 
seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The side curtain airbags 
equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help reduce the likelihood of partial and 
complete ejection of vehicle occupants thr ough side windows in crashes, particularly 
rollover crashes.
The side curtain airbags are located in the 
ceiling above the side windows on both sides 
of the vehicle.
The side curtain airbag is designed to deploy 
in a rollover or a moderate-to-severe side 
impact.■
Housing Locations
1Side Curtain Airbags
If the SRS control unit senses that your vehicle is 
about to rollover, it immediately deploys both side 
curtain airbags and activates both front seat belt 
tensioners.
If the impact is on the passenger’s side, the 
passenger’s side curtain airbag will inflate even if 
there are no occupants on that side of the vehicle.
To get the best protection from the side curtain 
airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts 
properly and sit upright and well back in their seats.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof 
pillars as they can interf ere with the proper operation 
of the side curtain airbags.

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 vehicle using either the lap belt 
portion of the lap/shoulder 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 vehic le unattended, especially in hot weather when 
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enou gh 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 passenger'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.

WARNING
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 bu ckled, fully retracted, 
and locked.
