DESCRIPTION
FRONT AIRBAG SYSTEM
A dual front airbag system is standard factory-in-
stalled safety equipment on this model. Both the
driver and passenger airbag are certified to new fed-
eral regulations, which allows them to deploy with
less force than prior airbags. The primary passenger
restraints in this vehicle are the seat belts, which
require active use by the vehicle occupants. The front
airbag system is a supplemental passive restraint
that was designed and is intended to enhance the
protection for the front seat occupants of the vehicle
when used in conjunction with the seat belts.
The driver airbag includes an inflatable airbag and
an inflator unit behind a trim cover in the hub area
of the steering wheel. The passenger airbag includes
an inflatable airbag and an inflator unit behind an
airbag door in the instrument panel above the glove
box.
The dual front airbag system consists of the follow-
ing components:
• Airbag Control Module (ACM)
• Airbag indicator lamp
• Clock Spring
• Driver and passenger airbags (including the air-
bag inflators)
• Wire harness and connections.
Refer to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures
manual to test or diagnose a problem with any com-
ponent of the front airbag system.
