qFront Passenger Air Bag
The front passenger air bag is mount ed in the front passenger instrument panel.
The inflation mechanism for the front passenger air bag is the same as the driver's air bag,
as mentioned above.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria”
(page 2-55).
qSide Air Bags
The side air bags are mounted in the outboa rd 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 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.
For more details about air bag deployment, refer to “SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria”
(page 2-55).
