Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

(With Front Passenger Occupant Classifi cation System)

  In addition, the front passenger side 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  2-56 ).

 Curtain Air  Bags 

*

    The curtain air bags are mounted in the front and rear window pillars, and the roof edge 
along both sides.
  When the air bag crash sensors detect a side impact of greater than moderate force, the 
curtain air bag infl ates quickly and helps to reduce injury mainly to the rear outboard 
passenger's head 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   2-53 ).

In a side impact:

  Greater than moderate impact to one side of the vehicle will cause the curtain air bag on that 
side only to infl ate.

Only one side curtain air bag will deploy on the 
side of the v ehicle that receiv es the force of an 
im pact.
