A sophisticated electronic system
that continually monitors and
records information about the
sensors, the control unit, the
airbag activators, and driver and
front passenger seat belt use when
the ignition is in the ON (II)
position.
Weight sensors that monitor the
weight on the front passenger’s
seat. These prevent the passenger’s
front airbag from inflating if the
weight is less than about 65 lbs
(30 kg) (see page
).
An indicator on the instrument
panel that alerts you to a possible
problem with your airbags (see
page
).
An indicator on the instrument
panel that alerts you that the front
passenger’s side airbag has been
turned off (see page
).
An indicator on the dashboard that
alerts you that the passenger’s
front airbag has been turned off
(see page
).
Emergency backup power in case
your vehicle’s electrical system is
disconnected in a crash.
A driver’s seat position sensor that
monitors the seat position. If the
seat is too far forward, the airbag
will inflate with less force (see
page
).
If you ever have a moderate to
severe frontal collision, sensors will
detect the vehicle’s rapid
deceleration. If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the
control unit will instantly inflate the
driver’s and front passenger’s front
airbags, at the appropriate time and
with the force needed.
