uuFor Safe Driving uYour Vehicle’s Safety Features
Safe DrivingFor the safety of you and your passengers, make a habit of checking these items 
each time before you drive.
• After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure all doors and the tailgate are 
closed and locked. Locking the doors and the tailgate helps prevent an occupant 
from being ejected and an outsider from unexpectedly opening a door or the 
tailgate.
2 Locking/Unlocking the Doors from the Inside  P. 99
•Adjust your seat to a position suitable  for driving. Be sure the front seats are 
adjusted as far to the rear  as possible while allowing the driver to control the 
vehicle. Sitting too close to  a front airbag can result in serious or fatal injury in a 
crash.
2 Adjusting the Seats  P. 133
•Adjust head restraints to  the proper position. Head restraints are most effective 
when the center of the head restraint alig ns with the center of your head. Taller 
persons should adjust their head  restraint to the highest position.
2Adjusting the Head Restraints  P. 136
•Always wear your seat belt, and make sure  you wear it properly. Confirm that any 
passengers are properly belted as well.
2 Fastening a Seat Belt  P. 35
•Protect children by using seat belts or chil d seats according to a child’s age, height 
and weight.

Safe DrivingThe front seats are equipped with automatic  seat belt tensioners to enhance safety.
The tensioners automatically tighten th e front seat belts during a moderate-to-
severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not severe enough to 
inflate the front airbags.
■Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners1 Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
The seat belt  tensioners can  only operate once.
If a tensioner is activated, the SRS indicator will come 
on. Have a dealer replace the tensioner and 
thoroughly inspect the seat belt system as it may not 
offer protection in a subsequent crash.

The front, front side, and side curtain 
airbags are deployed  according to the 
direction and severity of impact. Both side 
curtain airbags are depl oyed 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.

uuAirbags uFront Airbags (SRS)
Safe DrivingFront airbags are designed to inflate duri ng moderate-to-severe frontal collisions. 
When the vehicle decelerates suddenly, the sensors send information to the control 
unit which signals one or both front airbags to inflate.
A frontal collision can be either head-on or angled between two vehicles, or when a 
vehicle crashes into a stationary object, such as a concrete wall.
While your seat belt restrains your torso, the 
front airbag provides supplemental protection 
for your head and chest.
The front airbags deflate immediately so that 
they won’t interfere with the driver’s visibility 
or the ability to steer or operate other 
controls.
The total time for inflation and deflation  is so fast that most occupants are not 
aware that the airbags deployed until th ey see them lying in front of them.
■Operation
■How the Front Airbags Work1How the Front Airbags Work
Although the driver’s and fr ont passenger’s airbags 
normally inflate within a spli t second of each other, it 
is possible for only one airbag to deploy. This can 
happen if the severity of a  collision is at the margin, 
or threshold, that determines whether or not the 
airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will 
provide sufficient protec tion, and the supplemental 
protection offered by the  airbag would be minimal.

Safe Driving
■When front airbags should not deploy
Minor frontal crashes:  Front airbags were designed to supplement seat belts and 
help save lives, not to prevent minor scrapes, or even broken bones that might occur 
during a less than moderate-to-severe frontal crash.
Side impacts:  Front airbags can provide protection when a sudden deceleration 
causes a driver or front passenger to move  towards the front of the vehicle. Side 
airbags and side curtain airbag s have been specifically designed to help reduce the 
severity of injuries that can occur durin g a moderate-to-severe side impact which 
can cause the driver or passenger to  move towards the side of the vehicle.
Rear impacts:  Head restraints and seat belts are your best protection during a rear 
impact. Front airbags cannot provide any si gnificant protection and are not designed 
to deploy in such collisions.
Rollovers:  Seat belts and, in vehicl es equipped with a rollover sensor, side airbags 
and side curtain airbags offer the best prot ection in a rollover. Because front airbags 
could provide little if any protection, they are not designed to deploy during a 
rollover.
■When front airbags deploy with  little or no visible damage
Because the airbag system senses sudden deceleration, a strong impact to the 
vehicle framework or suspension might caus e one or more of the airbags to deploy. 
Examples include running into a curb, the edge of a hole, or other low fixed object 
that causes a sudden deceleration in th e vehicle chassis. Since the impact is 
underneath the vehicle, damage may not be readily apparent.
■When front airbags may not deploy , even though exterior damage 
appears severe
Since crushable body parts absorb crash energy during an impact, the amount of 
visible damage does not always indicate proper airbag operation. In fact, some 
collisions can result in severe damage but no airbag deployment because the airbags 
would not have been needed or would not  have provided protection even if they 
had deployed.

uuAirbags uFront Airbags (SRS)
Safe DrivingYour front airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of airbag 
related injuries to smaller occupants.
The driver’s advanced front airbag system 
includes a seat position sensor.
If the seat is too far forward, the airbag 
inflates with less force, regardless of the 
severity of the impact.
The passenger’s advanced front airbag system 
has weight sensors.
Although we recommends  against carrying an 
infant or small child in front, if the sensors 
detect the weight of a child (up to about 65 
lbs or 29 kg), the system will automatically 
turn off the passenger’s front airbag.
■Advanced Airbags1 Advanced Airbags
If there is a problem with the driver’s seat position 
sensor, the SRS indicator wi ll come on and the airbag 
will inflate with full (normal) force, regardless of the 
driver’s seating position.
For both advanced front 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 place any cover over the passenger side 
dashboard.

Safe DrivingTo reduce the likelihood that a front passeng er may be injured by an inflating side 
airbag, the passenger side airbag  is automatically turned off when:
• The height sensors detect a child or sho rt-statured adult is seated in the front 
passenger seat.
• The position sensor detects that the  front passenger is leaning into the 
deployment path of the side airbag.
When the side airbag cutoff system is acti vated, the side airbag off indicator comes 
on.
2 Side Airbag Off Indicator  P. 52
If the side airbag off indicator comes  on, have the passenger sit upright. A few 
seconds after the passenger is sitting properly, the side airbag will automatically be 
turned on, and the indicator will go off.
If the front passenger is a child, stop when it is safe to do so, and have the child sit 
properly restrained in a rear seat.
