Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG. Operation Front airbags are designed to inflate during moderate-to-severe frontal collisions. When the vehicle decelerates suddenly, the sensors send information to the control unit which signals one or both front airbags to inflate.

  • Page 38: Advanced Airbags

    Before Driving > Check Before Driving Rollovers: In a rollover, your best form of protection is a seat belt or, if your vehicle is equipped with a rollover sensor, both a seat belt and a side curtain airbag. Front airbags, however, are not designed to deploy in a rollover as they would provide little, if any, protection.
  • Page 39 Before Driving > Check Before Driving a Passenger’s Seat Weight Sensors We advise against allowing a child age 12 or under to ride in the front passenger’s seat. However, if you do allow a small child or infant to ride in the front passenger’s seat, the system is designed to automatically deactivate the front passenger’s airbag.

  • Page 40: Knee Airbags

    Before Driving > Check Before Driving Knee Airbags The knee SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help keep the driver and/or front passenger in the proper position and to help maximize the benefit provided by the vehicle’s other safety features. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to supplement seat belt not replace them.

  • Page 41: Side Airbags

    Before Driving > Check Before Driving When knee airbags deploy with little or no visible damage Because the airbag system senses sudden deceleration, a strong impact to the vehicle framework or suspension might cause one or more of the airbags to deploy. Examples include running into a curb, the edge of a hole, or other low fixed objects that cause a sudden deceleration in the vehicle chassis.
