The right front passenger’s air bag is in the instrument
panel on the passenger’s side.
If something is between an occupant and an
air bag, the bag might not inflate properly or
it
might force the object into that person causing
severe injury or even death. The path of an
inflating air bag must be kept clear. Don’t put
anything between an occupant and an air bag,
and don’t attach or put anything on the
steering wheel hub or on or near any other air
bag covering.
When
Should
an
Air
Bag
Inflate?
An air bag is designed to inflate in moderate to severe
frontal or near-frontal crashes. The air bag will inflate
only
if
the impact speed
is
above the system’s designed
“threshold level”.
If
your vehicle goes straight into a wall that doesn’t
move or deform, the threshold level is about
9
to 14 mph
(14
to
23
km/h). The threshold level can vary, however,
with specific vehicle design,
so
that it can be somewhat
above or below this range.
