The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. This

allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that

are based on collision severity. Along with the seat belts,

front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bol-

sters to provide improved protection for the driver and

front passenger. Window bags also work with seat belts

to improve occupant protection.

The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types

of collisions. The front airbags deploy in moderate to

severe frontal collisions.

NOTE: The passenger front airbag may not deploy even

when the driver front airbag has if the Occupant Classi-

fication System (refer to ⬙Occupant Classification System⬙

in this section) has determined the passenger seat is

empty or is occupied by someone that is classified in the

⬙small child⬙ category.

The window bag on the crash side of the vehicle is

triggered in moderate to severe side collisions. In certain

types of collisions, both the front and side airbags may be

triggered. But even in collisions where the airbags work,

you need the seat belts to keep you in the right position

for the airbags to protect you properly.

Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the

risk of harm from a deploying airbag.

1. Children 12 years and under should always ride

buckled up in a rear seat.

Infants in rear facing child restraints should NEVER ride

in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger airbag. An

airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to

infants in that position.
