The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. This
allow s the airbag to have different rates of inflation that
are based on collision severity. Along with the seat belts,
front airbags work with the instru ment panel knee bol- 2
sters to provid e improved protection for the driver and
front passenger. Wind ow bags also work with seat belts
to improve occupant protection.

The seat belts are designed to protect you in many typ es
of collisions. The front airbags deploy in moderate to
severe frontal collisions. If you r vehicle is so equ ipped,
the wind ow bag on the crash side of the vehicle is
triggered in moderate to severe side collisions. In certain
typ es of collisions, both the front and side airbags may be
triggered . But even in collisions where the airbags work,
you need the seat belts to keep you in the right position
for the airbags to protect you prop erly.
