Occupant safety
i The front airbags in this vehicle have been
designed to inflate in two stages. This allows
the airbag to have different rates of inflation
that are based on the rate of vehicle deceler-
ation as assessed by the airbag control unit.
On the front passenger side, the front airbag
deployment is additionally influenced by the
passenger’s weight category as identified by
the Occupant Classification System (OCS)
(컄 page 88).
The lighter the front passenger side occupant,
the higher the vehicle deceleration rate re-
quired for the second stage inflation of the
airbag.
The airbags will not deploy in impacts
which do not exceed the system’s deploy-
ment thresholds. You will then be pro-
tected by the fastened seat belts.
The front passenger front airbag will
only be deployed if:
앫 the system senses that the front pas-
senger seat is occupied
앫 the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indica-
tor lamp in the center console is not
lit (
컄 page 91)
앫 the impact exceeds a preset deploy-
ment threshold
Side impact airbags
1 Front side impact airbags
2 Rear side impact airbags
The side impact airbags are deployed:
앫 in impacts exceeding a preset deploy-
ment threshold
앫 on the impacted side of the vehicle
앫 independently of the front airbags
The side impact airbags are not deployed
in impacts which do not exceed the sys-
tem’s deployment threshold.
The front passenger side impact airbag
will only deploy if the system senses that
the front passenger seat is occupied.
Window curtain airbags
1 Front window curtain airbag
2 Rear window curtain airbag
The side window curtain airbags are de-
ployed:
앫 in impacts exceeding a preset deploy-
ment threshold
앫 on the impacted side of the vehicle
앫 independently of the front airbags
앫 in certain vehicle rollovers
The window curtain airbags are not de-
ployed in impacts which do not exceed
the system’s deployment threshold.
