driver's and passenger's sides as well as the seat belt pretension-
ers (if equipped), the sag of the seat belt is taken up (for seat belt
with pretensioner), the driver air bag (inflator) module is deployed
from the center of the steering column and the passenger air bag
(inflator) module from the top of the instrument panel in front of
the front passenger seat in occurrence of a front collision with an
impact larger than a certain set value to supplement protection
offered by the driver and front passenger seat belts.
1. Driver side air bag
2. Passenger side air bag
3. Seat belt pretensioner (if equipped)
The air bag system is designed to activate only in severe frontal
collisions. It is not designed to activate in rear impacts, side
impacts, rollovers, or minor frontal collisions, since it would offer
no protection in those types of accidents.
