The side airbags are housed in the outside edge
of the driver's and passenger's seat-backs.
Both are marked SIDE AIRBAG.
When the sensors detect a moderate-to-
severe side impact, the control unit signals the
side airbag on the impact side to immediately
inflate.
1Side Airbags
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags.
They can interfere with the proper operation of the
airbags, or hurt someone if an airbag inflates.
Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers
without consulting a dealer.
Improperly replacing or covering front seat-back
covers can prevent your side airbags from properly
deploying during a side impact.
Do not let the front passenger lean sideways with
their head in the deployment path of the side airbag.
An inflating side airbag can strike with strong force
and seriously injure the passenger.
