Because the system senses crash severity,
some frontal and side collisions will not
inflate the airbags. Front airbags are not
designed to inflate in rollover, rear and low
speed impacts.
The restraint system comprises:
a driver airbag
a front passenger airbag
crash sensors
an airbag warning lamp
an electronic control and diagnostic
unit.
Driver and front passenger airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with an air bag for
the driver, located in the steering wheel
and a passenger air bag is located in the
instrument panel above the glove
compartment. The passenger air bag can
be identified by the 'Airbag' mark
embedded on the airbag cover.
The seat back must be set correctly for the
airbags to be optimally effective. See
Sitting in the Correct Position (page
51). This helps to reduce the risk of injury
from sitting too close to an inflating airbag.

Occupant protection
The driver and front passenger airbags will
deploy during significant frontal collisions
or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from
the left or the right. The airbags will inflate
within a few thousandths of a second and
deflate on contact with the occupants,
thus cushioning forward face/body
movement. During minor frontal collisions,
overturns, rear collisions and side
collisions, the driver and front passenger
airbags will not deploy.

attempt to reinstall the cover. If the vehicle

must also be replaced. If the airbag(s) are
not replaced, the un-repaired area will
increase the risk of injury in a collision.
Airbag warning light
When the ignition switch is turned to
position II, the airbag warning light on the
instrument panel illuminates for
approximately 3 seconds to indicate that
the system is functional.
