③ Far Side Airbag Driver and Front Passenger Airbags passengers with respiratory conditions may experience temporary discomfort. If the discomfort is severe, seek medical attention immediately. The driver airbag is mounted inside the steering wheel and the front passenger airbag is mounted inside the dashboard, both marked with "AIRBAG". The airbags deploy when the airbag system Electronic Control Unit (ECU) detects a moderate to severe front impact and the triggering conditions are met. ● The front passenger airbag is controlled by the passenger airbag (PAB) switch. For details, see PAB Switch*.
01 SAFETY Seat Side Airbags* Front airbag deployment ● In moderate to severe frontal crashes, a sensor detects a sharp deceleration and sends a signal to the ECU to trigger the front airbags immediately. The seat side airbags are mounted on the outside of seatbacks, marked with "AIRBAG". When a moderate to severe side impact is detected during vehicle travel and the triggering conditions are met, the airbag on the struck side deploys to help protect the occupant's chest. Front/Rear seat side airbags ● When there is a frontal crash, the seat belt secures the occupant's lower body and torso and the airbag cushions and protects the occupant's head and chest.
WARNING ● When the severity of the impact does not reach the airbag deployment threshold, seat belts provide enough protection while airbags provide minimal additional protection. ● Prevent the seatbacks from getting wet. If they get wet from rain or splashes, the side airbag system may not work properly. ● The front airbag deflates immediately after inflation, without affecting the driver's vision and ability to operate the steering wheel or other controls. ● Do not cover or replace seatback covers on you own. Unsuitable seatback cover replacements or covers may prevent airbag deployment in a collision.
● Airbags can inflate rapidly when triggering conditions are satisfied to further protect drivers and occupants in an accident. ● In the event of a side impact, the airbag on the impacted side deploys when the airbag system meets its deployment conditions. ● A loud noise will be heard when the airbag deploys. It will not cause injury, but it may cause tinnitus or temporary deafness which recover quickly. ● If the impact occurs on the passenger's side, the airbag on the passenger's side deploys even if there is no passenger in the seat. ● For optimal side airbag protection, occupants must have ● The deployment of airbags may release smoke and dust.
