uuAirbags uAirbag System Components
Safe Driving
The front, driver’s knee, front passenger’s 
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 ro llover. 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 the 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 
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.
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.
gDriver’s seat position sensor. This sensor 
detects the driver’s seat slide position to 
help determine the optimal deployment 
of the driver’s airbag.
hWeight sensors in the front passenger’s 
seat. The sensors are used for occupant 
classification to activate or deactivate the 
front passenger’s airbag.
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 possib le problem with your 
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
lSafing Sensor
mA 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 possi ble while allowing full control of the 
vehicle. A front passenger should move their 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  the front, driver’s knee and front 
passenger’s 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 hand s and arms out of the 
deployment path of the front airbag by holding each 
side of the steering wheel.  Do not cross an arm over 
the airbag cover.
