This system provides an improved overalllevel of frontal crash protection to front seatoccupants and is designed to help furtherreduce the risk of airbag-related injuries. Thesystem analyzes different occupantconditions and crash severity beforeactivating the appropriate safety devices tohelp better protect occupants in a variety offrontal crash situations.
Your vehicle's Personal Safety Systemconsists of:
•Driver and passenger dual-stage airbagsupplemental restraints.
•Front seat outermost seatbelts withpretensioners, energy managementretractors (first row only) and seatbeltusage sensors.
•Driver seat position sensor.
•Front passenger sensing system.
•Passenger airbag off and on indicatorlamp.

How Does the Personal Safety SystemWork?
The Personal Safety System can adapt thedeployment strategy of the safety devicesaccording to crash severity and occupantconditions. A collection of crash andoccupant sensors provides information tothe restraints control module. During a crash,the restraints control module may deploy theseatbelt pretensioners, one or both stagesof the dual-stage airbags based on crashseverity and occupant conditions.
