SRS Air Bags

 Front Passenger Air Bag

    The front passenger air bag is mounted in the front passenger dashboard.
  The  infl ation mechanism for the front passenger air bag is the same as the driver's air bag, as 
mentioned above.
  For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria" 
(page   2-54 ).

(With Front Passenger Occupant Classifi cation System)

  In addition, the front passenger air bag is designed to only deploy in accordance with the 
total seated weight on the front passenger seat. For details, refer to the front passenger 
occupant classifi cation system (page  2-57 ).

 Side Air  Bags 

*

    The side air bags are mounted in the outboard sides of the front seatbacks.
  When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the 
system infl ates the side air bag only on the side in which the vehicle was hit. The side 
air bag infl ates quickly to reduce injury to the driver or front passenger's chest caused by 
directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window.
  For more details about air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air Bag Deployment Criteria" 
(page   2-54 ).
