WARNING:
If the side airbag has deployed,
the airbag will not
function again. The side airbag system (including the seat)
must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer.
If the
airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of
injury in a collision.
The side airbags are fitted on the outboard side of the seat backs of the
front seats. In certain lateral collisions, the airbag on the side affected by
the collision will be inflated. The airbag was designed to inflate between
the door panel and occupant to further enhance the protection provided
occupants in side impact collisions.
The system consists of the
following:
•
a label or embossed side panel
indicating that side airbags are
found on your vehicle
•
side airbags located inside the
seat back of the driver and front
passenger seats
•
Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. See
Crash Sensors and Airbag Indicator
later in
this chapter.
The design and development of the side airbag system included
recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of side airbags.
