SRS Air Bags

The side air bags are mounted in the outboard sides of the seatbacks.

When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the system inflates the side air bag only on the side in which the vehicle was hit. The side air bag inflates quickly to reduce injury to the driver or passenger's head and chest caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.

For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria" (Search).

(With Passenger Occupant Classification System)

In addition, the passenger side air bag is designed to only deploy when the passenger occupant classification sensor detects a passenger sitting on the passenger's seat. For details, refer to the passenger occupant classification system (Search).
