If the airbags are off, the off
indicator in the passenger airbag
status indicator will come on
and stay on when the vehicle is
started.

If a child restraint has been installed
and the on indicator is lit, see
“If the On Indicator is Lit for a
Child Restraint” under Passenger
Sensing System
on page 1-53
for more information.

To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle safety belt and
let it return to the stowed position.

Airbag System

The vehicle has the following
airbags:

A frontal airbag for the driver.

A frontal airbag for the right front
passenger.

A seat-mounted side impact
airbag for the driver.

A seat-mounted side impact
airbag for the right front
passenger.

A roof-rail airbag for the driver,
passenger seated directly
behind the driver, and the third
row outboard passenger position.

A roof-rail airbag for the right
front passenger, passenger
seated directly behind the right
front passenger, and the third row
outboard passenger position.

All of the airbags in the vehicle will
have the word AIRBAG embossed
in the trim or on an attached
label near the deployment opening.

For frontal airbags, the word
AIRBAG will appear on the middle
part of the steering wheel for
the driver and on the instrument
panel for the right front passenger.

With seat-mounted side impact
airbags, the word AIRBAG
will appear on the side of the
seatback closest to the door.

With roof-rail airbags, the word
AIRBAG will appear along the
headliner 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.
