Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of

injuries related to the deployment of side airbags.

The front passenger sensing system will disable the side airbag if the

seat is empty.

The side airbag system consists of

the following:

• An inflatable nylon bag (airbag)

with a gas generator concealed

behind the outboard bolster of

the driver and front passenger

seatbacks.

• A special seat cover designed to

allow airbag deployment.

• The same readiness airbag light,

electronic control and diagnostic

unit as used for the front airbags.

• Two crash sensors located under

the outboard side of the front

seats, attached to the floor.

Side airbags, in combination with

safety belts, can help reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a

significant side impact collision.

The side airbags are fitted on the outboard side of the seatbacks of the

front seats. In certain lateral collisions, the airbag on the side affected by

the collision will be inflated, even if the respective seat is not occupied.

The airbag was designed to inflate between the door panel and occupant

to further enhance the protection provided occupants in side impact

collisions.

The airbag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains lateral

deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit

that initiates airbag inflation.

The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that

something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces were

not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Side airbags are designed

to inflate in side-impact collisions, not roll-over, rear-impact, frontal or

near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral

deceleration.
