Additional Information About Your Airbags
How Your
Side Curtain Airbags Work
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG
In a moderate to severe side impact,
sensors will detect rapid
acceleration and signal the control
unit to instantly inflate the side
curtain airbag.
32
If the impact is on the passenger's
side, the passenger's side curtain
airbag will inflate even if there are no
occupants on that side of the vehicle.
One or both side curtain airbags may
inflate in a moderate to severe
frontal collision which causes the
front airbags to deploy.
To get the best protection from the
side curtain airbags, occupants
should wear their seat belts and sit
upright and well back in their seats.

How the SRS Indicator
Works
The SRS indicator alerts you to a
potential problem with your airbag
system components.
When you turn the ignition switch
to the ON (II) position, this indicator
comes on briefly then goes off. This
tells you the system is working
properly.
＊ : Models equipped with the keyless access
system have an engine start/stop button
instead of an ignition switch. ON Mode
is the equivalent of ON (II). For more
information, see pages
184 and 187.
