Front airbags

Driver and passenger airbags are de-
ployed:
ț in the event of a frontal impact
ț if impact exceeds a preset deployment
threshold
ț independently of the side impact air-
bags
The airbags will not deploy in impacts
which do not exceed the system’s deploy-
ment thresholds. You will then be protect-
ed by the fastened seat belts.
The passenger front airbag will only be de-
ployed if:
ț the front passenger seat is occupied.
ț the PASS. AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp
in the center console is not lit
(

Head-thorax airbags
1 Head-thorax airbag
The head-thorax airbags 1 in the driver
and front passenger seat are deployed:
ț on the impacted side of the vehicle
ț in impacts exceeding a preset deploy-
ment threshold

The head-thorax airbags 1 are not de-
ployed in impacts which do not exceed the
system’s deployment threshold.
!
Do not place objects heavier than 20
lbs (9 kg) on the front passenger seat.
This could cause the front or
head-thorax airbag on the front passen-
ger side to deploy in a crash which ex-
ceeds the system's deployment
threshold.
