Driver and front passenger
airbags
E74302
The driver and front passenger
airbags will deploy during significant
frontal collisions or collisions that are
up to 30 degrees from the left or the
right. The airbags will inflate within a
few thousandths of a second and
deflate on contact with the
occupants, thus cushioning forward
body movement. During minor frontal
collisions, overturns, rear collisions
and side collisions, the driver and
front passenger airbags will not
deploy.
Driver knee airbag
CAUTION
Do not attempt to open the
driver knee airbag cover.
E86311
The driver knee airbag will deploy
during frontal collisions or collisions
that are up to 30 degrees from the
left or the right. The airbag will inflate
within a few thousandths of a second
and deflate on contact with the
occupants, thus providing a cushion
between the driver’s knees and the
steering column. During overturns,
rear collisions and side collisions, the
knee airbag will not deploy.
Note:
The knee airbag has a lower
deployment threshold than the front
airbags. During a minor collision, it is
possible that only the knee airbag
deploys.
