Where are the air bags?

Driver and Passenger Front Airbags

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and seat belts for the driver and front passenger seats.

The SRS consists of airbags located in the center of the steering wheel and the front passenger side instrument panel cover above the glove box.

The airbags are marked with the letters "AIR BAG" embossed on the cover trim.

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the driver and front passengers with additional protection beyond that provided by the seat belt system alone. The SRS uses sensors to detect the driver's seat position, front passenger seat belt use, and the severity of the impact.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or death resulting from front airbag deployment, observe the following precautions:

• Seat belts must always be worn to help passengers maintain the correct position.
• Move the seat as far as possible from the front airbags without losing control of the vehicle.
• Never lean against the door or center console.
• Do not allow the front passenger to place their feet on the instrument panel.
• Do not place any objects over or near the airbag modules in the steering wheel, dashboard, or front passenger panel above the glove box. Such objects may cause injury if the vehicle is involved in a crash severe enough to deploy the airbags.
