They are designed to help protect the heads of the front seat occupantsand the rear outboard seat occupants
in certain side impact collisions.
The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash
severity, angle, speed and impact.
The side and curtain air bags on
both sides of the vehicle may deploy
if a rollover or possible rollover isdetected.
The curtain air bags are not designed
to deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.How Does the Air Bag System Operate?
The SRS consists of the following components:
1. Driver’s front air bag module
2. Passenger’s front air bag module
3. Side air bag modules
4. Curtain air bag modules
5. Retractor pre-tensioner assemblies
6. Air bag warning light
7. SRS control module (SRSCM)/ Rollover sensor
8. Front impact sensors
9. Side impact sensors
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
curtain air bags, take the follow-ing precautions:
All seat occupants must wear seat belts at all times to helpkeep occupants positioned

Safety system of your vehicle
You can take steps to reduce the risk
of being injured by an inflating air
bag. The greatest risk is sitting too
close to the air bag. An air bag needsabout 10 inches (25 cm) of space to
inflate. NHTSA recommends that
drivers allow at least 10 inches
(25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.When the SRSCM detects a suffi-
ciently severe impact to the front of
the vehicle, it will automatically
deploy the front air bags.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
air bag, take the following pre-cautions:
NEVER place a child restraint
in the front passenger seat.
Always properly restrain chil-
dren under age 13 in the rear
seats of the vehicle.
Adjust the front passenger's and driver's seats as far to the
rear as possible while allow-
ing you to maintain full con-
trol of the vehicle.
Hold the steering wheel with
hands at the 9 o'clock and 3
o'clock positions.
Never place anything or any-
one between the air bag andthe seat occupant.
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place their feet or legs
on the dashboard.

Occupant Classification System (OCS)
Your vehicle is equipped with an Occupant Classification System
(OCS) in the front passenger’s seat.
Main components of theOccupant Classification System
A detection device located within the front passenger seat cushion.
Electronic system to determine whether the passenger air bag
systems should be activated or
deactivated.
An indicator light located on the instrument panel which illuminates
the words "PASSENGER AIR BAGOFF" indicating the front passen-
ger air bag system is deactivated.
The instrument panel air bag indi- cator light is interconnected with
the OCS.
The OCS is designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated front
passenger and determine if the pas-senger's front air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
The purpose is to help reduce the
risk of injury or death from an inflat-
ing air bag to certain front passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by
requiring the air bag to be automati-
cally turned OFF. For example, if a child restraint of thetype specified in the regulations is onthe seat, the occupant classificationsensor can detect it and cause the
air bag to turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occu-
pants who are properly seated and
wearing the seat belt properly,should not cause the passenger air
bag to be automatically turned OFF.
For small adults it may be turned
OFF, however, if the occupant does
not sit in the seat properly (for exam-
ple, by not sitting upright, by sitting
on the edge of the seat, or by other-wise being out of position), this could
cause the sensor to turn the air bag
OFF.
You will find the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator on the center
facia panel. This system detects the
conditions 1-4 in the following table
and activates or deactivates the frontpassenger air bag based on these
conditions.

person who is unfamiliar with
the vehicle to touch the igni-
tion switch or related parts.
Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement can occur.
NEVER reach through the

tion, which could cause an acci-dent.
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in P (Park) position, apply the
parking brake, and turn ignition
