uuSeat Belts uAbout Your Seat Belts
Safe Driving
■Proper use of seat belts
Follow these guidelines for proper use:
• All occupants should sit upright, well back  in the seat, and remain in that position 
for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduce the effectiveness of the 
belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or 
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
• Two people should never use the same seat  belt. If they do, they could be very 
seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve comfort 
or reposition the shoulder part of a seat  belt can reduce the protective capability 
and increase the chance of  serious injury in a crash.
Your vehicle monitors front seat belt use. If 
the ignition switch  is turned to ON 
(w*1 
before the driver’s seat belt is fastened, the 
beeper will sound and the indicator will blink. 
If the driver does not fasten the belt before 
the beeper stops, the indicator will remain on.
The beeper will also periodically sound and 
the indicator will blink while driving until the 
driver’s and front passenger’s seat belts are 
fastened.
*1: Models with the smart entry system have an  ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an 
ignition switch.
■Seat Belt Reminder
1 About Your Seat Belts
If a rear seat passenger moves around and extends 
the seat belt, the lockable retractor may activate. If 
this happens, release the  retractor by unfastening the 
seat belt and allow the belt to retract completely. 
Then refasten the belt.
1 Seat Belt Reminder
The indicator will also co me on if a front passenger 
does not fasten their seat belt within six seconds after 
the ignition switch is turned to ON 
( w*1.
When no one is sitting in th e front passenger’s seat, 
the indicator will not come  on and the beeper will not 
sound. The indicator also  may not come on and the 
beeper may not sound when the occupant is not 
heavy enough to trigger th e weight sensor. Such 
occupants (e.g., infants and smaller children) should 
be moved to the rear seat  as a deploying front airbag 
likely will injure or kill them. 2 Protecting Child Passengers  P. 54*

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 
ignition switch is in ON 
(w*1.
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).
hImpact sensors that can detect a 
moderate-to-severe front or side impact.
iAn indicator on the dashboard that alerts 
you that the front passenger’s front 
airbag has been turned off.
jAn indicator on the instrument panel that 
alerts you to a possibl e problem with your 
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
kSafing Sensor
lA rollover sensor that can detect if your 
vehicle is about to roll over and signal the 
control unit to deploy both side curtain 
airbag.

uuAirbags uTypes of Airbags
Safe Driving
Types of Airbags
Your 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) indica tes 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 pass enger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.
*1: Models with the smart entry system have an  ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an 
ignition switch.
■Housing Locations
1 Types of Airbags
The airbags can inflate whenever the ignition switch 
is in ON 
(w*1.
After an airbag inflates in a crash, you may see a 
small amount of smoke. This is from the combustion 
process of the infl ator material and  is not harmful. 
People with respiratory pr oblems 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 wi th 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, dependi ng on the severity of the 
crash, whether or not the se at 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.

■When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airb ags may inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled frontal 
collision.
Airbag System Indicators
If a problem occurs in the airbag system , the SRS indicator will come on and a 
message appears on the multi-information display*.
■When the ignition switch is turned to 
ON 
(w*1
The indicator comes on for a few seconds, 
then goes off. This tells you the system is 
working properly.
If the indicator comes on at any other time , or does not come on at all, have the 
system checked by a dealer as soon as po ssible. If you don’t, your airbags and seat 
belt tensioners may not work  properly when they are needed.

Ignoring the SRS indi cator can result in 
serious injury or death if the airbag systems 
or tensioners do not work properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as 
soon as possible if the SRS indicator alerts 
you to a possible problem.
