Types of Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with three types of airbags:
•
Front airbags:
Airbags in front of the driver's and front passenger's seats.
•
Side airbags
*
:
Airbags in the driver's and front passenger's seat-backs.
•
Side curtain airbags
*
:
Airbags above the side windows.
Each is discussed in the following pages.
Front Airbags (SRS)
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help to
protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger.
SRS
(Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant's primary
restraint system.
The front airbags are housed in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver, and
in the dashboard for the front passenger. Both airbags are marked

After an airbag inflates in a crash, you may see a
small amount of smoke. This is from the combustion
process of the inflator material and is not harmful.
People with respiratory problems may experience
some temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get out of
the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
