trigger on the crash side of the vehicle in moderate-to-
severe side collisions or on both sides of the vehicle in
rollover collisions. In certain types of collisions, both the
front and side airbags may be triggered. However, even
in collisions where the airbags deploy, you need the seat
belts to keep you in the right position for the airbags to
protect you properly.
NOTE:
The passenger front airbag may not deploy even
when the driver front airbag has; particularly if the
Occupant Classification System has determined the pas-
senger seat is empty or is occupied by someone that is
classified in a category other than that of an adult (refer
to information on Occupant Classification System in this
section). This could be a child, teenager, or even a small
size adult.
Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize
the risk of harm from a deploying airbag:
1. Children 12 years old and younger should always ride
buckled up in the rear seat.
Infants in rear facing child restraints should
NEVER
ride
in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag.
An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death
to infants in that position.
Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle seat
belt properly should be secured in the rear seat in child
restraints or belt-positioning booster seats. Older chil-
dren who do not use child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear
seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt
behind them or under their arms.
