qPassenger Air Bag
The passenger air bag is mounted in the passenger dashboard.
The inflation mechanism for the pa ssenger air bag is the same as the driver's air bag, as
mentioned above. In addition, the passen ger air bag is designed to only deploy in
accordance with the total seated weight on the passen ger seat. For details, refer to the drive r
and passenger occupant classification system (page 2-43).
qSide Air Bags
í
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 inflates the side air bag only on the side in which the vehicle was hit. The side air
bag inflates quickly to reduce injury to the driver or front passenger's chest caused by
directly hitting interior parts such as a door or window. 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 driver and front passenger occupant classification
system (page 2-43).
