Safe DrivingThe airbags have advanced features to he lp reduce the likelihood of airbag related
injuries to smaller occupants. The driver’s advanced airbag system includes a
seat position sensor.

severity of the impact, the advanced airbag
system determines the optimal deployment of
the driver’s airbag.
■Advanced Airbags1 Advanced Airbags

sensor or the passenger’s s eat weight sensors, the
SRS indicator will come on, and in the event of a

classification) with a fo rce corresponding to the
severity of the impact. 2 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
