uuAirbags uAirbag System Components
Safe Driving
The front, front knee, 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 knee airbags. Th e driver’s knee 
airbag is stored under the steering 
column; the front passenger’s knee 
airbag is stored under the glove box. 
Both are marked  SRS AIRBAG.
cTwo 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 .
dTwo 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.
eAn electronic control unit that, when the 
power mode is in 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.
fAutomatic 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.
gA driver’s seat position sensor. This 
sensor determines the optimal force at 
which the airbag will deploy in a crash.
hWeight 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).
iImpact sensors that can detect a 
moderate-to-severe front or side impact.
jAn indicator on the dashboard that alerts 
you that the front passenger’s front 
airbag has been turned off.
kAn indicator on the instrument panel that 
alerts you to a possible problem with your 
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
lA rollover sensor that can detect if your 
vehicle is about to roll over and signal the 
control unit to deploy  both side curtain 
airbags.

uuAirbags uAirbag System Components
Safe DrivingAirbags can pose serious hazards. To do  their job, airbags must inflate with 
tremendous force. So, while airbags help sa ve lives, they can cause burns, bruises, 
and other minor injuries, sometimes even  fatal ones if occupants are not wearing 
their seat belts properl y and sitting correctly.
What you should do:  Always wear your seat belt  properly, and sit upright and as 
far back from the steering wheel as possibl e while allowing full control of the 
vehicle. A front passenger should move thei r seat as far back from the dashboard as 
possible.
Remember, however, that no safety system ca n prevent all injuries or deaths that 
can occur in a severe crash, even when s eat belts are properly worn and the airbags 
deploy.
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag.  
Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp 
object in your mouth, can result in in juries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on th e front and front knee airbag covers. 
Objects on the covers marked SRS AIRBAG  could interfere with the proper 
operation of the airbags or be propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the 
airbags inflate.
■Important Facts About Your Airbags1 Important Facts About Your Airbags
Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags. Together, 
airbags and seat belts pr ovide the best protection.
When driving, keep hands and arms out of the 
deployment path of the fro nt airbag by holding each 
side of the steering wheel.  Do not cross an arm over 
the airbag cover.
