●
The front passenger airbag is
controlled by the passenger airbag
switch. For details, see "Passenger
Airbag (PAB) Switch*".
Seat Side Airbags*
If the vehicle 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 passenger side airbags
Rear passenger 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
seatback.
In a vehicle equipped with seat side
airbags:
●
Prevent the seatbacks from getting
wet. If the seatbacks 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
seatback covers may prevent airbag
deployment.
Front far side airbag:
●
The vehicle is equipped with front
far side airbags for the front seats
(installed in the inner side edge of the
driver seat and marked with "AIRBAG",
as shown in the illustration).
●
When a moderate to severe front or
side impact is detected during vehicle
travel and the triggering conditions are
met, the far side airbag deploys to
protect the heads and shoulders of the
driver and the front passenger.
●
If the impact occurs on the front
passenger side, the far side airbag
deploys even if there is no passenger
in the seat.
