The vehicle has the following airbags:
.
A frontal airbag for the driver.
.
A frontal airbag for the right front passenger.
.
A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the driver.
.
A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the right

.
A roof-rail airbag for the driver and passenger

.
A roof-rail airbag for the right front passenger and
passenger seated directly behind the right front
passenger.
All of the airbags in the vehicle will have the word
AIRBAG embossed in the trim or on an attached label
near the deployment opening.
For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear on the
middle part of the steering wheel for the driver and on
the instrument panel for the right front passenger.
With seat-mounted side impact airbags, the word
AIRBAG will appear on the side of the seatback
closest to the door.
With roof-rail airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear
along the headliner or trim.
Airbags are designed to supplement the protection
provided by safety belts. Even though today's airbags
are also designed to help reduce the risk of injury from
the force of an inflating bag, all airbags must inflate very
quickly to do their job.
