Safety features of your vehicle
①Driver’s front air bag (if equipped)
✽
NOTICE
The actual air bags in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.
How does the air bag system
operate
• An air bag is activated (able to inflate if
necessary) only when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or START
position.
• An air bag inflates instantly in the event
of a serious frontal collision in order to
help protect the occupant from serious
physical injury.
• Generally, an air bag is designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a col-
lision and its direction. These two fac-
tors determine whether the sensors
produce an electronic deployment/
inflation signal.
• An air bag deployment depends on a
number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the densi-
ty and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle hits in the
collision. The determining factors are
not limited to those mentioned above.
• The driver’s front air bag will complete-
ly inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to see
the air bag inflate during an accident.
AIR BAG - SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Even in vehicles with air bags, you
and your passengers must always
wear the safety belts provided in
order to minimize the risk and
severity of injury in the event of a
collision or rollover.
