stored in the dashboard.

passenger air bag is the same as the
driver's air bag.
(With Driver and Front Passenger
Occupant Classification System)
In addition, the front passenger air bag
is designed to only deploy in
accordance with the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat.
Driver and Front Passenger Knee Air
Bags
*
The knee air bag is stored under the
dashboard.
If the air bag crash sensors receive a
frontal impact of greater than
moderate force, the knee air bags
deploy immediately to reduce impact
to the driver and front passenger's
legs.
Side air bags
There are 2 types of side air bags
including the side air bags for the
driver and front passenger and rear
passengers.
Front seat side air bags
The front seat side air bags are installed
in the outboard sides of the driver and
front passenger's 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 which the
vehicle was hit. The side air bag inflates
quickly to reduce injury to the driver or
front passenger's chest caused by
directly hitting interior parts such as a
door or window.
(With Driver and Front Passenger
Occupant Classification System)
In addition, the front passenger side air
bag is designed to only deploy in
accordance with the total seated
weight on the front passenger seat.
