WARNING: Do not attempt to service,
repair, or modify the seat airbag
supplemental restraint systems, its fuses or
the seat cover on a vehicle containing seat
airbags as you could be seriously injured or
killed. Contact your authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
WARNING: If the side airbag has
deployed, the airbag will not function again.
The side airbag system (including the seat)
must be inspected as soon as possible. If the
airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area
will increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The side airbags are on the outboard side
of the seatbacks of the front seats. The
airbag was designed to inflate between the
door panel and occupant to further enhance
the protection provided to occupants in
certain side impact crashes.
E152533
The system consists of the following:
• A label or embossed side panel
indicating that side airbags are fitted to
your vehicle.
• Side airbags inside the driver and front
passenger seatbacks.
• Front passenger sensing system.
E67017
Crash sensors and monitoring
system with readiness indicator.
See Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 55).
The design and development of the side
airbag system included recommended
testing procedures that were developed by
a group of automotive safety experts known
as the Side Airbag Technical Working Group.
These recommended testing procedures
help reduce the risk of injuries related to the
deployment of side airbags.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER KNEE
AIRBAGS
Driver and passenger knee airbags are
located under or within the instrument panel.
During a crash, the restraints control module
may activate the driver and passenger knee
airbags (individually or both) based on crash
severity and respective occupant conditions.
Under certain crash and occupant conditions,
the driver and passenger knee airbags may
deploy (individually or both) but the
corresponding front airbag may not activate.
As with front and side airbags, it is important
to be properly seated and restrained to
reduce the risk of death or serious injury.
