How the System Works
In a frontal collision, the collision sensors
will detect rapid deceleration, and if the
controller judges that the deceleration rep-
resents a severe frontal collision, the con-
troller will trigger the inflators. The inflators
inflate the appropriate airbags with nitro-
gen or argon gas. The inflated airbags pro-
vide a cushion for your head and upper
body. The airbag inflates and deflates so
quickly that you may not even realize that it
has activated. The airbag will neither hin-
der your view nor make it harder to exit the
vehicle.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
airbag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-
pants should not lean on or sleep against
the door. Refer to “Seat adjustment” (P.2-
5) and “Seat belt” (P.2-19) in this section
for details on proper seat and seat belt
adjustments.
WARNING
59RN02200
If you attach accessories such as cup
holders or hangers near the door, or
if you lean umbrellas against the
door, when side airbags or side cur-
tain airbags activate, these objects
may be thrown out and may not
inflate properly, resulting in severe
injury.
Do not attach accessories such as
cup holders or hangers near the
door. Also, do not lean umbrellas
against the door.
WARNING
69T020300
• The driver should not lean over the
steering wheel. The front passen-
ger should not rest his or her body
against the dashboard where a
front airbag is mounted or a child
should not stand in front of the
dashboard. Otherwise, he or she
will get too close to the dashboard.
For vehicle with side airbags and
side curtain airbag, occupants
should not lean on or sleep against
the door. In these situations, the
out-of-position occupant would be
too close to an inflating airbag, and
may suffer severe injury.
