WARNING: Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the

airbag SRS, its fuses or the seat cover on a seat containing an

airbag. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING: All occupants of the vehicle should always wear

their safety belts even when an airbag SRS is provided.

How does the side airbag system work?

The design and development of the side airbag system included

recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of

automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working

Group. These recommended testing procedures help reduce the risk of

injuries related to the deployment of side airbags.

The side airbag system consists of

the following:

• An inflatable 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 warning light,

electronic control and diagnostic

unit as used for the front airbags.

• Two crash sensors mounted in the front doors (one on each side of

the vehicle).

• Crash sensors located on the C pillars (one sensor on each pillar on

each side of the vehicle).

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. 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.
