Where are the airbags?
Driver's and passenger's front
airbags
Driver's front airbag
OCN7030036
Passenger's front airbag
OCN7030038
The SRS consists of advanced airbags
located in the center of the steering
wheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box.
The airbag locations are embossed with
the letters "AIRBAG".
The purpose of the SRS is to provide the
vehicle's driver and front passenger with
additional supplemental protection that
the seat belt system does not provide in
case of a frontal impact of sufficient
severity.
The SRS uses sensors to gather
information about the driver's and front
passenger's seat belt usage and impact
severity.
The seat belt buckle sensors determine if
the driver and front passenger's seat belts
are fastened. These sensors provide the
ability to control the SRS deployment
based on whether or not the seat belts are
fastened, and how severe the impact is.
The SRS offers the ability to control the
airbag inflation within two levels. A first
stage level is provided for
moderate-severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe
impacts.
According to the impact severity and seat
belt usage, the SRS Control Module
(SRSCM) controls the airbag inflation.
Failure to properly wear seat belts may
increase the risk or severity of injury in a
collision.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from inflating front airbags:
• Seat belts must be worn at all times to
help keep occupants positioned
properly.
• Move your seat as far back as possible
from front airbags, while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
• Never lean against the door or center
console.
• Hold the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock
and 3 o'clock positions, to minimize the
risk of injuries to your hands and arms.
• Do not allow the front passenger to
place their feet or legs on the
dashboard.
• Never place any objects (such as
dashboard cover, mobile phone holder,
cup holder, perfume or stickers) over or
near the airbag modules on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, windshield
glass, and the front passenger's panel
above the glove box. Such objects may
cause harm if the vehicle is in a collision
severe enough to cause the airbags to
deploy.
• Do not attach any objects on the front
windshield and inside mirror.
