The system consists of the following:
• A label or embossed side panel indicating
that side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.
• Side airbags located inside the seatback of
the driver and front passenger seats.
• Crash sensors and monitoring system with readiness
indicator. Refer to Crash sensors and airbag indicator
later in this chapter.
• Front passenger sensing system
Note: The passenger sensing system will deactivate the passenger
seat-mounted side airbag if it detects an empty, unbuckled passenger
seat.
The design and development of the side airbag system included
recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of side airbags.

airbag could injure you as it deploys from the headliner.
