How Your Side Airbags Work - Honda Accord Crosstour Owner's Manual

Also, make sure the floor mat
behind the front passenger's seat
is properly positioned on the floor
(see page 353 ). If it is not, the mat
may interfere with the proper
operation of the front passenger's
seat and its sensors.
Back seat passengers should not
wedge objects or intentionally
force their feet under the front
passenger seat.

How Your Side Airbags Work

If you ever have a moderate to
severe side impact, sensors will
detect rapid acceleration and signal
the control unit to instantly inflate
either the driver's or the passenger's
side airbag.

Only one airbag will deploy during a
side impact. If the impact is on the
passenger's side, the passenger's

is no passenger.
To get the best protection from the
side airbags, front seat occupants
should wear their seat belts and sit
upright and well back in their seats.
