Seating and Safety Restraints
Do not lean your head on the door. The side airbag could injure
you as it deploys from the side of the seatback.
Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag SRS, its
fuses or the seat cover on a seat containing an airbag. See your
authorized dealer.
All occupants of the vehicle should always wear their safety belts
even when an airbag SRS is provided.
How does the side airbag system work?
The side airbag system consists of
the following:
•
An inflatable nylon bag (airbag)
with a gas generator concealed
behind the outboard bolster of
the driver and front passenger
seatbacks.
•
•
A special seat cover designed to
allow airbag deployment.
The same warning light,
electronic control and diagnostic
unit as used for the front airbags.
•
Two crash sensors located under
the outboard side of the front
seats, attached to the floor.
Side airbags, in combination with
seat belts, can help reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a
significant side impact collision.
The side airbags are fitted on the outboard side of the seatbacks of the
front seats. In certain lateral collisions, the airbag on the side affected by
the collision will be inflated. The front passenger sensing system will
turn off the passenger seat side airbag if the seat is empty (unless for
some reason the safety belt is properly buckled) . If the front passenger
seat is empty, and the safety belt is not properly buckled, the front
passenger seat side airbag will be turned off by the front passenger
sensing system. The airbag was designed to inflate between the door
