qSide Air Bags
The side air bags are mounted in the outboard sides of the front seatbacks.
When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the
system inflates the side air bag only on the side in whi ch the vehicle was hit. The side air
bag inflates quickly to reduce injury to the driver or front passenger's chest cau sed by
directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “ SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria”
(page 2-47).
In addition, the front passen ger side air bag is desig ned to only deploy in accordance with
the total seated weight on the front passenger seat. For details, refer to the driver and front
passenger occupant classification system (page 2-50).
qCurtain Air Bags
The curtain air bags are mounted in the front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge
along both sides.
When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the
curtain air bag inflates quickly and helps to reduce injury mainly to the rear outboard
passenger's head caused by directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “ SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria”
(page 2-47).
