The front seat side airbags might not be triggered in the following cases: - The vehicle power switch set to “ACC” or “OFF” position. - 100% frontal collision. In certain collision accidents, the system may simultaneously trigger other airbags. - Minor side collision. - Rear-end collision. - Other special circumstances.

The front seat side airbags are installed in the outboard sides of the driver’s seat back and the front passenger’s seat back respectively (as indicated by the dotted dash) marked with “AIRBAG”. 21
