The air bag Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) inflates instantaneously, and cannot provide protection in secondary or some other types of impact. Under these circumstances, the only protection is provided by a correctly worn seat belt.
The air bags and SRS are not designed to operate as a result of:
Examples of obstructions include:
When the air bag inflates:
If any of these problems occur, get out of the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. If breathing problems persist, seek medical attention.
After inflation, the front and seat mounted side air bags deflate immediately. Deflation provides a gradual cushioning effect for the occupants and also makes sure the driver’s forward vision is not obscured.
The instrument panel displays an illuminated air bag warning lamp as a bulb check when the ignition is switched on. See AIR BAG (YELLOW).
If any of the following air bag warning lamp conditions occur, the vehicle should be checked by a retailer/authorized repairer immediately.
When the ignition is switched on, a diagnostic control unit monitors the readiness of the system’s electrical circuits. Elements of the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) being monitored include:
Note: Always consult a retailer/authorized repairer if:

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends a minimum distance of 10in (25cm) between an occupant’s chest and the driver’s air bag module.
Air bag locations:
The single stage driver’s air bag deploys, depending on the severity of the frontal impact.
The front passenger’s air bag is able to deploy in two stages, depending on the severity of the frontal impact. In a severe impact, the front passenger’s air bag inflates fully to offer maximum protection. In a lesser impact, full deployment is not required, so the air bag only partially inflates.
The side air bags are designed to protect the thorax region of the torso. In general, the side air bags deploy in the event of a side impact, and only on the side of the impact.
The curtain air bags are deployed in side impact and rollover events, providing greater protection from serious head injuries.
The front passenger seat is fitted with an occupancy sensor system that determines if:
The system consists of:
There are three operational states. The operational states are shown in the following table:
Occupancy status | Passenger air bag status | Status indicator display |
---|---|---|
Completely empty. | Deactivated. | PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF * |
Child restraint, or low weight occupant or object. | Deactivated. | PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF |
Heavy occupant or object. | Activated. | ON PASSENGER AIRBAG ** |
* If the status lamp shows that the airbag is off with a seated adult in the front passenger seat, contact a retailer/authorized repairer immediately.
** Displays for 60 seconds, followed by no display.
