Dual-stage Driver and Right Front Passenger Airbag
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
• Provides the capability of deploying in the full-powered
mode or with less pressure in the Stage1 mode
• Multipoint crash-sensing system includes the Restraint Control
Module plus satellite sensors on the front radiator support
for frontal crashes and on the B- and C-pillars for side
impacts. The sensors help to determine crash severity early
in a collision so that the appropriate airbag inflation
pressure can be determined
• Driver’s-seat position sensor monitors how close the driver’s
seat is in relation to the steering wheel — another factor in
determining the airbag inflation pressure
Front Passenger Sensing System (FPSS)
• The front passenger seat includes the Front Passenger
Sensing System (FPSS) to control airbag deployment
• The passenger-seat weight sensor turns the passenger
airbag off if a small-statured person is in the seat or if it
is empty
Safety Package
• Includes the Safety Canopy
TM
System which provides
enhanced side-impact head protection and rollover
protection for first- and second-row outboard occupants by
deploying from the headliner in certain types of accidents
• A sensor monitors the vehicle’s roll angle and roll rate. If the
system determines that a rollover may be imminent, the
Safety Canopy deploys and can remain inflated for several
seconds, much longer than regular airbags
• The Safety Canopy can also be triggered in certain
side impacts
• Also includes dual front side airbags that are mounted to
the front seats and “move” with the occupant to provide
better protection than side airbags that deploy from the
door. These airbags provide added protection to the
head and chest of front outboard occupants during certain
side-impact collisions
• Provides 6 total airbags in the vehicle (including the airbags
provided in the standard Personal Safety System)
“Safety Cell” Construction
• Helps absorb impact energy before it reaches
vehicle occupants
• Front-end structure with reinforced subframe to
absorb energy
• Cross-vehicle beam provides additional mounting point
for steering column and airbag
• Includes high-strength steel side door intrusion beams
Safety Belts
• Use latest technology to provide occupant protection
• Feature manual 3-point system at all 5 seating positions
• Front-seat safety belt pretensioners automatically tighten to
more effectively restrain front outboard occupants in the
event of certain frontal collisions
• Front-seat energy management retractors gradually allow the
safety belts to loosen if necessary — reducing the force of
the belts on the occupant’s chest and allowing them to move
forward very slightly and into the airbags
• Front shoulder belt D-ring height adjuster for comfort
