Safe Driving 42 Airbags Airbag System Components The front, front side, and side curtain airbags are deployed according to the direction and severity of the impact.
Safe Driving 43 Airbags Airbag System Components Important Facts About Your Airbags ■ Airbags can pose serious hazards. To do their job, airbags must inflate with tremendous force.
Safe Driving 44 Airbags Types of Airbags Front Airbags (SRS) Types of Airbags Your vehicle is equipped with three types of airbags: Front airbags: ● Airbags in front of the driver’s and passenger’s seats. Side airbags: ● Airbags in the driver’s and passenger’s seat-backs.
Safe Driving 45 Airbags Front Airbags (SRS) Operation ■ Front airbags are designed to inflate during a moderate-to-severe frontal collision. When the vehicle decelerates suddenly, the sensors send information to the control unit which signals one or both front airbags to inflate.
Safe Driving 46 Airbags Front Airbags (SRS) When Front Airbags Should Not Deploy ■ Minor frontal crashes: Front airbags are designed to supplement seat belts and help save lives, not to prevent minor scrapes, or even broken bones that might occur during a less than moderate-to-severe frontal crash.
Safe Driving 47 Airbags Front Airbags (SRS) Advanced Airbags ■ Your front airbags have advanced features to reduce the likelihood of airbag related injuries to smaller occupants. The driver's advanced front airbag system includes a seat position sensor.
Safe Driving 48 Airbags Side Airbags The side airbags help protect the upper torso of the driver or a passenger during a moderate to severe side impact. Housing Locations ■ The side airbags are housed in the outside edge of the driver’s and passenger’s seat- backs.
Safe Driving 49 Airbags Side Airbags When a Side Airbag Deploys With Little or No Visible Damage ■ Because the airbag systems sense sudden acceleration, a strong impact to the side of the vehicle’s framework can cause a side airbag to deploy.
Safe Driving 50 Airbags Side Airbags Side Airbag Cutoff System ■ To prevent a passenger from possible injury by an inflating side airbag, the passenger side airbag is automatically turned off when: The height sensors detect a child or small statured adult is seated in the ● passenger seat.
Safe Driving 51 Airbags Side Curtain Airbags Side Curtain Airbags The side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and a passenger during a moderate-to-severe side impact. Housing Locations ■ The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling above the windows on the driver side and the passenger side.
Safe Driving 52 Airbags Airbag System Indicators Airbag System Indicators If a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SRS indicator will come on and a message appears on the multi-information display.

However, you should have your vehicle inspected by a dealer in the following situations: When the Airbags Have Deployed ■ If an airbag has inflated, the control unit and other related parts must be replaced.
56 Safe Driving Child Safety Protecting Child Passengers Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle collisions are the number one cause of death of children age 12 and under.
Safe Driving 57 Child Safety Protecting Child Passengers Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in ● an approved child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using the lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt.
Safe Driving 58 Child Safety Safety of Infants and Small Children Safety of Infants and Small Children Protecting Infants ■ An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the infant reaches the seat maker’s weight or height limit for the seat, and the infant is at least one year old.
