Front airbags
The driver and passenger front airbags are designed to
activate only in certain frontal impacts exceeding a
preset threshold.
The front passenger airbag deploys only if the front
passenger seat is occupied and the 7 indicator lamp
on the center console is not illuminated.
Note:
Heavy objects on the front passenger seat can appear to
the "SRS" to indicate the presence of an occupant in
that seat which causes the passenger front airbag to
deploy in a crash exceeding the appropriate threshold.
