Airbag Systems

The vehicle is equipped with airbags and lap/
shoulder belts at both front seating positions. The
airbags are a supplemental restraint at those
seating positions.
The airbags in combination with the safety belts
make up a safety system which offers the driver
and the passenger the greatest known protection
from injuries in case of an accident.
Your vehicle is equipped with occupant sensing for
the passenger's seat in accordance with
U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208.
Even though your vehicle is equipped with airbags,
the safety belts must be worn at all times,
because the front or side airbags deploy
depending on the force and angle of impact.
Below the deployment threshold of the airbag
system, and during types of collisions which do
not cause the airbag deployment, the safety belts
provide the primary protection to the occupants
when correctly worn. Therefore, all persons
within the vehicle must wear safety belts at
all times to minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash.
