Safety and Security
Occupant safety
The front passenger front air bag will only
be deployed if:
ț the system, based on OCS weight sen-
sor readings, senses that the front
passenger seat is occupied
ț the 59 indicator lamp in
the center console is not lit
(
୴ page 50)
ț the impact exceeds a preset deploy-
ment threshold
Knee bag
The knee bag 3 is located on the
driver-side lower instrument panel. It is
designed to operate together with the
driver air bag in certain frontal impacts
exceeding a preset threshold. The
knee bag 3 operates best in conjunction
with a properly positioned and fastened
seat belt.
Side impact air bags
1 Front side impact air bag
2 Rear side impact air bag
The side impact air bags are deployed:
ț in impacts exceeding a preset deploy-
ment threshold
ț on the impacted side of the vehicle
ț independently of the front air bags
The front passenger side impact air bag 1
will not deploy if the OCS senses that the
front passenger seat is empty and the front
passenger seat belt is not fastened (latch
plate is not inserted into the buckle). With
an empty front passenger seat and the
seat belt fastened (latch plate properly in-
serted into buckle) the front passenger
side impact air bag will deploy regardless
of the empty seat.
The side impact air bags are not deployed
in impacts which do not exceed the sys-
tem’s deployment threshold.
