the steering wheel; the front
passenger's airbag is stored in the
dashboard. Both are marked ''SRS
AIRBAG.''
Automatic seat belt tensioners
(see page 52 ).
Sensors that can detect a
moderate to severe frontal
collision.
A sophisticated electronic system

sensors, the control unit, the

Driver and Passenger Safety
An indicator light on the
instrument panel that alerts you to
a possible problem with the
system (see page 57 ).
Emergency backup power in case
your vehicle's electrical system is
disconnected in a crash.
How Your Front Airbags Work
If you ever have a moderate to
severe frontal collision, the sensors
will detect the vehicle's rapid
deceleration If the rate of
deceleration is high enough, the
control unit will instantly inflate the
front airbags and activate the
automatic seat belt tensioners.
