Airbag System

The vehicle has the following airbags:
A frontal airbag for the driver
A frontal airbag for the front
outboard passenger
A front center airbag for the driver
and front outboard passenger
A seat-mounted side impact airbag
for the driver
A seat-mounted side impact airbag
for the front outboard passenger
A roof-rail airbag for the driver
and for the second and third row
passengers seated directly behind
the driver
A roof-rail airbag for the front
outboard passenger and the
second and third row passengers
seated directly behind the front
outboard passenger
All vehicle airbags have the word
AIRBAG on the trim or on a label near
the deployment opening.
For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG
is on the center of the steering wheel
for the driver and on the instrument
panel for the front outboard
passenger.
For the front center airbag, the word
AIRBAG is on the inboard side of the
driver seatback.
For seat-mounted side impact airbags,
the word AIRBAG is on the side of the
seatback or side of the seat closest to
the door.
For roof-rail airbags, the word AIRBAG
is on the ceiling or trim.
Airbags are designed to supplement
the protection provided by seat belts.
Even though today's airbags are also
designed to help reduce the risk of
injury from the force of an inflating
bag, all airbags must inflate very
quickly to do their job.
Here are the most important things to
know about the airbag system:
SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
Warning
You can be severely injured or
killed in a crash if you are not
wearing your seat belt, even with
airbags. Airbags are designed to
work with seat belts, not replace
them. Also, airbags are not designed
to inflate in every crash. In some
crashes seat belts are the only
restraint. See When Should an
Airbag Inflate? 0 68.
Wearing your seat belt during a
crash helps reduce your chance of
hitting things inside the vehicle or
being ejected from it. Airbags are
supplemental restraints to the
seat belts. Everyone in the vehicle
should wear a seat belt properly,
whether or not there is an airbag
for that person.
