Airbags
Airbag System Components
The front airbags are deployed according to
the direction and severity of impact. The
airbag system includes:
• Two SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
front airbags. The driver's airbag is stored
in the centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger's airbag is stored in the
dashboard. Both are marked SRS
AIRBAG.

• An electronic control unit that, when the
vehicle is on, continually monitors
information about the various impact
sensors, seat and buckle sensors, airbag
activators, seat belt tensioners, and other
vehicle information. During a crash event
the unit can record such information.
• Automatic front seat belt tensioners.
• Impact sensors that can detect a
moderate-to-severe front impact.
• An indicator on the instrument panel that
alerts you to a possible problem with your
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
