The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed above and all relatedwiring. [Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ] The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]The operation mode is in ON. The airbags will operate under the same con- ditions as the airbag control unit.
When the impact sensors detect a sufficient front or side impact to deploy the airbag(s), the appropriate airbag(s) will be deployed. When the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle, curtain airbags will bedeployed. When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not intentionally inhalethe smoke as it may cause temporary irrita-tion to people with respiratory problems. An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so you may not even notice that the airbag was inflated.Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or being able to steer the vehicle, and does not prevent people from leaving thevehicle.

This vehicle is equipped with an event datarecorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in under-standing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for ashort period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:  How various systems in your vehicle were operating; Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;  How far (if at all) the driver was depress- ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,  How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under- standing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi- cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such aslaw enforcement, that have the special equip- ment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

The driver’s seat position sensor is attachedto the seat rail and provides the airbag controlunit with information on the seat’s fore-aft position. The airbag control unit controls deployment of the driver’s front airbag inaccordance with the information it receives from this sensor. If there is a problem involving the driver’sseat position sensor, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on. Refer to
“SRS warning light/display” on page 4-32.
N00418000322
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat rails and provide the air- bag control unit with information regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. Theairbag control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this sensor.
The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approximately 66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passengerairbag off indicator will come on. Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on page 4-31.If there is a problem involving the passenger seat weight sensors, the SRS warning light in the instrument panel will come on. Refer to“SRS warning light/display” on page 4-32.
NOTE
 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driv- ing conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) arerecorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifyingdata routinely acquired during a crash inves- tigation.

The passenger airbag off indicator is located in the instrument panel.
The indicator normally comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and goesout a few seconds later. In the following situ- ations, the indicator will stay on to show that the passenger front airbag is not operational.  The passenger’s seat weight sensors sense a weight of less than approximately 66pounds (30 kg) on the front passenger seat.  The front passenger’s seat is not occu- pied.
When the weight applied to the front passen- ger seat is sensed to be approximately 66 pounds (30 kg) or greater, the indicator goesout to show that the passenger’s front airbag is operational.
 To ensure that the passenger’s seat weight sensors can correctly sense the weight being applied to the seat, observe the fol- lowing instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can adversely affect the per-formance of the passenger’s airbag sys- tem.• Adjust the seat to the correct position,and sit well back against the seatback. Refer to “Front seats” on page 4-3.• Do not recline the seatback more thannecessary.• Never have more than one person (adultor child) sitting on the seat.• Do not place anything between the seatand the floor console.• Do not hang anything on the front pas-senger’s seatback.• Do not remove the head restraints.• When attaching a child restraint system, secure it firmly.• Do not place luggage or other objects onthe seat.• Do not use a seat cover or a cushion.• Do not remove the seats and seat belts.• Do not modify or replace the seat and seat belt.• Do not place luggage or other objectsunder the seat.• Do not place the floor mat on the seatrails.WA R N I N G
• Do not expose the sensors to liquids or vapors.• Do not subject the sensors to shock.• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to pushthe front passenger seat with their feet or force the front passenger seat upward.• Do not allow rear-seat occupants to graspthe front passenger’s seatback or puttheir arms around it.• When attaching a child restraint systemin the rear seat, make sure it does not interfere with the front seat.

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe frontal impact. Typical situations are shown in the illustration above. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are designed to deploy only in certain moderate to severe frontal collisions within the shaded area between the arrows in the illustration tothe right. The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag will deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s main
structure is above a specific threshold level. The threshold level is approximately 15 mph (25 km/h) for a frontal collision straight into a solid flat wall that does not bend or deform. Ifthe impact to the vehicle’s main structure is below this threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
may not deploy. This
threshold level may also be higher if the vehi- cle hits something that absorbs the impact, either by bending or moving (for example,another stationary vehicle, a pole or a guardrail).
The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful and can cause serious injury or death if you are close to
the deploying airbag.
Accordingly, it is important that you alwayswear the available seat belt.

In certain types of front collisions, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s bodystructure is designed to absorb the impact and deform in order to help protect the occupants. Some typical situations where the front air-bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deployare shown in the illustrations. Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag do not protect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to always wearyour seat belts properly.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are not designed to deploy in situations where
they cannot provide protection to the occu- pants. Typical situations are shown in the illustra- tion. Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag do not protect the occupants in all types of collisions, be sure to always wear the seat belts properly.
