Front airbags

The driver and passenger front airbags are designed to
activate only in certain frontal impacts exceeding a
preset threshold.

The passenger front airbag deploys only if the
passenger seat is occupied, and the

7 indicator lamp

on the center console is not illuminated.

Note:

Heavy objects on the passenger seat can cause the
passenger front airbag to deploy in a crash.

Side impact airbags

The side impact airbags are designed to activate only in
certain side impacts exceeding a preset threshold. Only
the side impact airbag on the impacted side of the
vehicle deploys.

The side impact airbag for the passenger deploys only if
the passenger seat is occupied.

Side impact airbags operate best in conjunction with a
properly positioned and fastened seat belt.

Note:

Heavy objects on the front passenger seat can appear to
the “SRS” to indicate the presence of an occupant in
that seat which causes the passenger front airbag to
deploy in a crash exceeding the appropriate threshold.
