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.
n Advanced Airbags
The airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of airbag
related injuries to smaller occupants.
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.
For the advanced airbags to work properly:
• Do not spill any liquid on or under the seats.
• Do not put any object under the passenger's seat.
• Make sure any objects are positioned properly on the floor. Improperly
positioned objects can interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.
• All occupants should sit upright and wear their seat belts properly.
• Do not cover the passenger's side dashboard with a cloth, towel, cover,
etc.
• Make sure the floor mat behind the front passenger's seat is hooked to
the floor mat anchor. An improperly placed mat can interfere with the
advanced airbag sensors.

n Side Airbags
The side airbags help protect the upper torso and pelvis of the driver or a
front passenger during a moderate-to-severe side impact. They are housed
in the outside edge of the driver's and front passenger's seat-backs. Both
are marked SIDE AIRBAG.
n
Side Curtain Airbags
Except 2.0 L engine models: Side curtain airbags help protect the heads of
the driver and passengers in outer seating positions during a moderate-to-
severe side impact. The side curtain airbags equipped in this vehicle are
also designed to help reduce the likelihood of partial and complete ejection
of vehicle occupants through side windows in crashes, particularly rollover
crashes.
2.0 L engine models: The side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the
driver and any passengers during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The
side curtain airbags equipped in this during a moderate-to-severe side
impact. The side curtain airbags equipped in this vehicle are also designed
to help reduce the likelihood of partial and complete ejection of vehicle
occupants through side windows in crashes, particularly rollover crashes.
The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling above the side windows
on both sides of the vehicle.
The side curtain airbags are designed to deploy in a rollover or moderate-
to-severe side impact.
If the SRS control unit senses that your vehicle is about to roll over, it
immediately deploys both side curtain airbags and activates both front seat
belt tensioners.
If the impact is on the passenger's side, the passenger's side curtain airbag
deploys even if there are no occupants on that side of the vehicle.
To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants should
wear their seat belts properly and sit upright and well back in their seats.
