Airbag System
The vehicle has the following airbags:
- A frontal airbag for the driver.
- A frontal airbag for the front outboard passenger.
- A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the driver.
- A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the front outboard passenger.
- A roof-rail airbag for the driver and for the second row passenger seated
directly behind the driver.
- A roof-rail airbag for the front outboard passenger and the second row
passenger seated directly behind the front outboard passenger.
All vehicle airbags have the word AIRBAG on the trim or on an attached label near the deployment opening.
For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the center of the steering wheel for the driver and on the instrument panel for the front outboard passenger.
For seat-mounted side impact airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the side of the seatback closest to the door.
For roof-rail airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the ceiling or trim.
Airbags are designed to supplement the protection provided by safety belts. Even though today's airbags are also designed to help reduce the risk of injury from the force of an inflating bag, all airbags must inflate very quickly to do their job.
Here are the most important things to know about the airbag system:
WARNING
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if you are not wearing your
safety belt, even with airbags. Airbags are designed to work with safety belts,
not replace them. Also, airbags are not designed to inflate in every crash. In
some crashes safety belts are the only restraint.
See When Should an Airbag Inflate?.
Wearing your safety belt during a crash helps reduce the chance of hitting
things inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. Airbags are “supplemental
restraints” to the safety belts. Everyone in the vehicle should wear a safety
belt properly, whether or not there is an airbag for that person.
WARNING
Because airbags inflate with great force and faster than the blink of an eye,
anyone who is up against, or very close to any airbag when it inflates can be
seriously injured or killed. Do not sit unnecessarily close to any airbag, as
you would be if sitting on the edge of the seat or leaning forward. Safety
belts help keep you in position before and during a crash. Always wear a safety
belt, even with airbags. The driver should sit as far back as possible while
still maintaining control of the vehicle.
Occupants should not lean on or sleep against the door or side windows in
seating positions with seat-mounted side impact airbags and/or roof-rail
airbags.
WARNING
Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can
be seriously injured or killed. Airbags plus lap-shoulder belts offer
protection for adults and older children, but not for young children and
infants. Neither the vehicle's safety belt system nor its airbag system is
designed for them.
Young children and infants need the protection that a child restraint system
can provide. Always secure children properly in the vehicle. To read how, see
Older Children or Infants and Young Children.
There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument panel cluster, which shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. See Airbag Readiness Light for more information.
