Function of Airbags

How the System Works
In a frontal collision, the collision sensors
will detect rapid deceleration, and if the
controller judges that the deceleration rep-
resents a severe frontal collision, the con-
troller will trigger the inflators. The inflators
inflate the appropriate airbags with nitro-
gen or argon gas. The inflated airbags pro-
vide a cushion for your head and upper
body. The airbag inflates and deflates so
quickly that you may not even realize that it
has activated. The airbag will neither hin-
der your view nor make it harder to exit the
59RN02200
vehicle.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
airbag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-
pants should not lean on or sleep against
the door. Refer to "Seat Adjustment" sec-
tion and "Seat Belts and Child Restraint
Systems" section in this section for details
on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
