front passenger or both to fasten their seat 
belts.
If the ignition switch is turned to ON

a seat belt is not fast ened, a beeper will sound

seconds, the beeper will stop and the 
indicator will come on and remain illuminated

The beeper will periodically sound and the 
indicator will blink while the vehicle is moving 
until the seat belt is fastened.

does not fasten their seat belt within six seconds after 
the ignition switch is turned to ON

When no one is sitting in th e front passenger’s seat, 
the indicator will not come  on and the beeper will not 
sound. The indicator also  may not come on and the 
beeper may not sound when the occupant is not 
heavy enough to trigger th e weight sensor. Such 
occupants (e.g., infants and smaller children) should 
be moved to the rear seat  as a deploying front airbag 
likely will injure or kill them. 2 Protecting Child Passengers  P. 60

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, abov e the side windows. 
The front and rear pillars are marked 
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG .
dAn electronic control unit that, when the 
ignition switch is in ON 
(w*1, 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. This 
sensor determines the optimal force at 
which the airbag will deploy in a crash.
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 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.

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)
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.

Airbag System Indicators
If a problem occurs in the airbag system , the SRS indicator will come on and a 
message appears on the driver information interface.
■When the ignition switch is turned to 
ON

The indicator comes on for a few seconds, 
then goes off. This te lls you the system is 
working properly.
If the indicator comes on at any other time, or does not come on at all, have the 
system checked by a dealer as soon as po ssible. If you don’t, your airbags and seat 
belt tensioners may not work  properly when they are needed.
