Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag
Seat and restraint systems 4-23
4
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness
of the electronic parts of the system whenever
the ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“START” position. These include all of the
items listed above and all related wiring.
The airbags will operate only when the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” or “START” posi-
tion.
When the impact sensors detect a front or
side impact sufficient to deploy the airbag(s),
the appropriate airbag(s) will be deployed.
When airbags deploy, some smoke is released
accompanied by a loud noise. The smoke is
not harmful, but do not intentionally inhale
the smoke as it may cause temporary irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems.
After deployment, the airbags will quickly
deflate, so quickly that some people may not
even realize the airbags inflated.
Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver
from seeing or being able to steer the vehicle,
and does not prevent people from leaving the
vehicle.

This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in
certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in under-
standing how a vehicle’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30 seconds or
less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
 How various systems in your vehicle were
operating;
 Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was depress-
ing the accelerator and/or brake pedal;
and,
 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better under-
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehi-
11- Side airbag modules
12- Curtain airbag modules
13- Side impact sensors
CAUTION
 Airbags inflate very quickly and with great
force. In certain situations, contact with an
inflating airbag may cause small cuts, abra-
sions, and bruises. Refer to “Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) - airbag” on page
4-20.
Event Data Recording
NOTE
 EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only
if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR under normal driv-
ing conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine the EDR
data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash inves-
tigation.
