The driver and front passenger
airbags will deploy during significant
frontal collisions or collisions that are
up to 30 degrees from the left or the
right. The airbags will inflate within a
few thousandths of a second and
deflate on contact with the
occupants, thus cushioning forward
body movement. During minor frontal
collisions, overturns, rear collisions
and side collisions, the driver and
front passenger airbags will not
deploy.
Side airbags
Side airbags are fitted inside the
seatback of the front seats. A label
indicates that side airbags are fitted
to your vehicle.
The side airbags will deploy during
significant lateral collisions. Only the
airbag on the side affected by the
collision will deploy. The airbags will
inflate within a few thousandths of a
second and deflate on contact with
the occupants, thus providing
protection for the chest and shoulder
areas. During minor lateral collisions,
overturns, front collisions and rear
collisions, the side airbags will not
deploy.
