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 rollover. The airbag
system includes:
Two SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
a
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.
The driver's knee airbag and passenger's
b
knee airbag are stored under the steering
column and the glove box respectively.
Both are marked SRS AIRBAG.
Two side airbags, one for the driver and
c
one for a front passenger. The airbags are
stored in the outer edges of the seat-
backs. Both are marked SIDE AIRBAG.
Two side curtain airbags, one for each
d
side of the vehicle. The airbags are stored
in the ceiling, above the side windows.
The front and rear pillars are marked

An electronic control unit that, when the
e
vehicle is on, continually monitors
information about the various impact
sensors, seat and buckle sensors, rollover
sensor, airbag activators, seat belt
tensioners, seat weight sensor, seat
position sensor, passenger airbag OFF
indicator, and other vehicle information.
During a crash event the unit can record
such information.
Automatic front seat belt tensioners. In
f
addition, the driver's and front
passenger's seat belt buckles incorporate
sensors that detect whether or not the
belts are fastened.
A driver's seat position sensor. This
g
sensor determines the optimal force at
which the airbag will deploy in a crash.
Weight sensors in the front passenger's
h
seat. The front passenger's airbag will be
turned off if the weight on the seat is
approximately 65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the
weight of an infant or small child).
