The airbags are located inside the
seatback of the front seats. There is a label
attached to the side of the seatback to
indicate this.
The airbag will deploy during significant
lateral collisions. It might also deploy
during significant frontal collisions. The
airbag will not deploy in minor lateral and
frontal collisions, rear collisions, or
overturns.

DRIVER KNEE AIRBAG

WARNING
Do not attempt to open the airbag
cover.
The airbag will deploy during frontal
collisions or collisions that are up to 30
degrees from the left or the right. The
airbag will inflate within a few thousandths
of a second and deflate on contact with
the occupants, thus providing a cushion
between the driver's knees and the steering
column. During overturns, rear collisions
and side collisions, the knee airbag will not
deploy.
For item location: See Vehicle Interior
Overview (page 13).
Note: The airbag has a lower deployment
threshold than the front airbags. During a
minor collision, it is possible that only the
knee airbag will deploy.
