Front seat side airbag*
The front seat side airbags are installed in the
outboard sides of the driver’s seat back and
the front passenger’s seat back respectively
(as indicated by the dotted dash) marked with
“AIRBAG”.
In the event of a side collision which is severe
enough to meet the triggering condition of
frontal airbag, the side airbags will be triggered
by the system and deploy rapidly to assist
the seat belt in protecting the driver and front
passenger.
In certain collision accidents, the system may
simultaneously trigger other airbags.
The front seat side airbags might not be
triggered under any one of the following:
-
The vehicle power switch set to “ACC” or
“OFF” position.
-
100% frontal collision.
-
Minor side collision.
-
Rear-end collision.
-
Other special circumstances.
NOTE
The word “minor” implies the severity of
collision sensed by the SRS controller and
has nothing to do with the damage of the
vehicle.
WARNING
● Airbag warning label is provided on
pillar B on both sides of the vehicle.
Please follow the warning on the
label. Do not lean your body against
the door side equipped with side
airbags during driving.
● Do not cover the side airbags
with seat covers or other objects;
otherwise, the side airbags will not
be deployed to protect the occupants
when an accident occurs.
