Seat Side Airbags*
If the vehicle you purchased is equipped
with seat side airbags (mounted on
the outside of seat back, marked
with "AIRBAG" at both sides), When
a moderate to severe side impact is
detected during vehicle travel and the
triggering conditions are met, the side
airbag deploys to protect the occupant's
chest.
Front Seat Side Airbags
Rear Seat Side Airbags
Seat Side Airbags starting process
• Generally only the airbag on the
impacted side deploys in the event of
a side impact.
• If the impact occurs on the passenger
side, the airbag on the passenger side
deploys even if there is no passenger in
the seat.
• For optimal side airbag protection,
occupants must have their seat belts
fastened and sit upright against the
seat back.
In a vehicle equipped with seat side
airbags:
• Prevent the seat backs from getting
wet. If they get wet from rain or
splashes, the side airbag system may
not work properly.
• Do not cover or replace seatback
covers on you own. Unsuitable seat
back replacements or covers may
prevent airbag deployment.
Front far-side airbags
• The vehicle is equipped with front
far-side airbags for the left and right
front seats (installed in the outer
edges of the front-row seatbacks and
marked with "AIRBAG", as shown in the
illustration):
• When a moderate to severe side
impact is detected during vehicle
travel and the triggering conditions are
met, the side airbag deploys to protect
the occupant's chest.
• If the impact occurs on the passenger
side, the airbag on the passenger side
deploys even if there is no passenger in
the seat.
• For optimal side airbag protection,
occupants must have their seat belts
fastened and sit upright against the
seatback.
