Additional Information About Your Airbags
A sophisticated electronic system
●
that continually monitors and
records information about the
sensors, the control unit, the airbag
activators, the seat belt tensioners,
and driver and front passenger seat
belt use when the ignition switch is
in the ON (II) position.
Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch. ON mode is the equivalent of
ON (II). For more information, see
pages
194
and 196.
An indicator on the instrument panel
●
that alerts you to a possible problem
with your airbag system components
(see page 34).

How Your Front Airbags Work
If you ever have a moderate to severe
frontal collision, sensors will detect
the vehicle's rapid deceleration.
If the rate of deceleration is high
enough, the control unit will inflate
the driver's and front passenger's
airbags, at the time and with the
force needed.
