Seating and Safety Restraints<br />

Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbag SRS, its<br />

fuses or the seat cover on a seat containing an airbag. See your<br />

authorized dealer.<br />

All occupants of the vehicle should always wear their safety b<strong>el</strong>ts<br />

even when an airbag SRS is provided.<br />

How does the side airbag system work<br />

The design and dev<strong>el</strong>opment of the side airbag system included<br />

recommended testing procedures that were dev<strong>el</strong>oped by a group of<br />

automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working<br />

Group. These recommended testing procedures h<strong>el</strong>p reduce the risk of<br />

injuries r<strong>el</strong>ated to the deployment of side airbags.<br />

The side airbag system consists of<br />

the following:<br />

• An inflatable nylon bag (airbag)<br />

with an inflator concealed behind<br />

the outboard bolster of the driver<br />

and front passenger seatbacks.<br />

• A special seat cover designed to<br />

allow airbag deployment.<br />

• The same warning light,<br />

<strong>el</strong>ectronic control and diagnostic<br />

unit as used for the front airbags.<br />

• Crash sensors located on the<br />

front doors and C pillars (one<br />

sensor on each pillar on each side<br />

of the vehicle).<br />

Side airbags, in combination with<br />

safety b<strong>el</strong>ts, can h<strong>el</strong>p reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a<br />

significant side impact collision.<br />

The side airbags are fitted on the outboard side of the seatbacks of the<br />

front seats. In certain lateral collisions, the airbag on the side affected by<br />

the collision will be inflated. If the front passenger sensing system<br />

detects an empty seat, the front passenger seat-mounted side airbag will<br />

be deactivated. The airbag was designed to inflate between the door<br />

pan<strong>el</strong> and occupant to further enhance the protection provided<br />

occupants in side impact collisions.<br />
