An airbag is not designed to deploy in every type of crash.
Depending on the type of accident or impact, the front airbag’s,
side airbag’s and curtain airbag’s independently deploy thereby
protecting the occupants. It is not necessary that ALL the
airbag’s deploy during an accident.
To minimize the risk of severe injury in the event of a crash, every
passenger must always wear their seat belt (see the chapter on
Seat Belts in this manual). The airbag’s inflate very quickly with
great force. Do not position any part of your body too close to a
airbag, you or especially children could be seriously injured by a
deploying airbag.
6.2 Driver and Front Passenger Air Bag
Your vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System
(Airbag) and lap/shoulder belts at both the driver and front
passenger seating positions. The indications of the system's
presence are the letters “SRS AIR BAG” embossed on the airbag
pad cover in the steering wheel and the passenger's side front
panel pad above the glove box.
The SRS is designed to deploy the front airbags only when an
impact is sufficiently severe and when the impact angle is less than
± 30° from the forward longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
