Front Airbags (SRS)

Safe Driving

The airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of airbag related 
injuries to smaller occupants.

The driver’s advanced airbag system includes a 
seat position sensor.

Based on information from this sensor and the 
severity of the impact, the advanced airbag 
system determines the optimal deployment of 
the driver’s airbag.

The front passenger’s advanced airbag system 
has weight sensors. The sensors are used for 
occupant classification to activate or 
deactivate the front passenger’s airbag.

For adult size occupants, the system will 
automatically activate the front passenger’s 
airbag. If a small adult sits in the front 
passenger seat and the system does not 
recognize him/her as an adult, see

If there is a problem with the driver’s seat position 
sensor or the passenger’s seat weight sensors, the 
SRS indicator will come on, and in the event of a 
crash, the airbag will deploy (regardless of the driver’s 
seating position or passenger’s occupant 
classification) with a force corresponding to the 
severity of the impact.

For the advanced front airbags to work properly, 
confirm that:

•

The occupant is sitting in an upright position, 
wearing the seat belt properly and the seat back is 
not excessively reclined.

•

The occupant is not leaning against the door or 
center console.

•

The occupant’s feet are placed on the floor in front 
of them.

•

There are no objects hanging from the front 
passenger’s seat. 

•

Only small, lightweight objects are in the seat back 
pocket.

•

The steering wheel and passenger’s side dashboard 
are not obstructed by any object.

No liquid has been spilled on or under the seat.
