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.

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.

WARNING: Several air bag system components get hot after

inflation. Do not touch them after inflation.
