If a front passenger leans sideways
and his head is in the deployment
path of the side airbag, he can be
seriously injured by an inflating side
airbag. An inflating side airbag can
strike the child with enough force to
kill or very seriously injure a child.
For the information of the side
airbags hazards, see pages
and
.
To help prevent injury by an inflating
side airbag, your car has an
automatic cutoff system for the
passenger’s side airbag. When the
system is shut off, the Side Airbag
indicator comes on as a reminder
(see page
).
To get the best protection from the
side airbags, front seat occupants
should wear their seat belts and sit
upright and well back in their seats.
Only one airbag will deploy during a
side impact. If the impact is on the
passenger’s side, the passenger’s
side airbag will deploy even if there
is no passenger.
Your car is equipped with side
airbags for the driver and a front
seat passenger. The airbags are
stored in the outer edges of the front
seat-backs, and both are marked
‘‘SIDE AIRBAG.’’
In a moderate to severe side impact,
the sensors will detect rapid
deceleration and signal the control
unit to instantly inflate either the
driver’s or the passenger’s side
airbag.
