Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with four types of airbags: front airbags, front knee
airbags, side airbags, and side curtain airbags.
n
Front Airbags (SRS)
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to
help protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger. They
are housed in the center of the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger. Both airbags are marked
SRS AIRBAG.
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.

Advanced Airbags
The airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of airbag
related injuries to smaller occupants.

Passenger’s

weight
sensors
The driver’s advanced airbag system includes a seat position sensor.
Based on information from this sensor and the severity of the impact, the
advanced airbag system determines the optimal deployment of the driver’s
airbag.
The front passenger’s advanced airbag system has weight sensors.
We advise against allowing a child age 12 or under to ride in the front
passenger’s seat. However, if you do allow a child age 12 or under to
ride in the front passenger’s seat, note that the system will automatically
turn off the front passenger’s airbag if the sensors detect that the child is
approximately 65 lbs (29 kg) or less.
Improperly positioning the seat belts can cause serious injury or death in
a crash.
Make sure all seat belts are properly positioned before driving.
WARNING
3. Position the lap part of the belt
as low as possible across your
hips, then pull up on the shoulder
part of the belt so the lap part
fits snugly. This lets your strong
pelvic bones take the force of a
crash and reduces the chance of
internal injuries.

possible.
4. If necessary, pull up on the belt again to remove any slack, then make
sure that the belt rests across the center of your chest and over your
shoulder. This spreads the forces of a crash over the strongest bones in
your upper body.
To release the belt, push the red PRESS button then guide the belt by hand
until it has retracted completely.
1. Move the anchor up and down
while holding the release button.
2. Position the anchor so that the
belt rests across the center of
your chest and over your shoulder.

Adjusting the Shoulder Anchor
The front seats have adjustable shoulder anchors to accommodate taller
and shorter occupants.
