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 ai rbags, 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, when the 
vehicle is on, continually monitors 
information about the various impact 
sensors, seat and buckle sensors, rollover 
sensor, airbag activators, seat belt 
tensioners, and other vehicle 
information. During a crash event the 
unit can record such information.
eAutomatic front seat belt tensioners. In 
addition, the driver’s and front 
passenger’s seat belt buckles incorporate 
sensors that detect whether or not the 
belts 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 
approximately 65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the 
weight of an infant or small child).
hImpact sensors that can detect a 
moderate-to-severe front impact 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 possible problem with your 
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
kA rollover sensor that can detect if your 
vehicle is about to ro ll over and signal the 
control unit to deploy both side curtain 
airbags.

uuAirbags uTypes of Airbags

Safe Driving
Types of Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped wi th 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 to reduce the 
likelihood of head and chest injuries in frontal 
crashes.

uuAirbags uSide Curtain Airbags
Continued
Safe Driving
Side Curtain Airbags
The side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers in the 
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 through 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
1 Side Curtain Airbags
If the SRS control unit sens es that your vehicle is 
about to rollover, it imme diately 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 deploys even if there 
is no passenger in the passenger seat.
To get the best protecti on from the side curtain 
airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts 
properly and sit upr ight and well back in their seats.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof 
pillars as they can interfere 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 vehicle unattended, especially in hot weather when 
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could also activate 
vehicle controls causing it to move unexpectedly.1Protecting 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 pa ssenger'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. 2 Safety Labels  P. 73
3WARNING
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 buckled, fully retracted, 
and locked.
