Airbag System

The vehicle has the following airbags:

- A frontal airbag for the driver.

- A frontal airbag for the outboard front passenger.

- A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the driver.

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

- A roof-rail airbag for the driver and the passenger seated directly behind the driver.

- A roof-rail airbag for the outboard front passenger and the passenger seated directly behind the outboard front passenger.

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 outboard 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.

Here are the most important things to know about the airbag system:

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.
