Safety features of your vehicle

The front air bag modules are locat-

ed both in the center of the steering

wheel and in the front passenger's

panel above the glove box.When the

SRSCM detects a sufficiently severe

impact to the front of the vehicle, it

will automatically deploy the front air

bags.

Upon deployment, tear seams mold-

ed directly into the pad covers will

separate under pressure from the

expansion of the air bags. Further

opening of the covers then allows full

inflation of the air bags.

A fully inflated air bag, in combina-

tion with a properly worn seat belt,

slows the driver's or the passenger's

forward motion, reducing the risk of

head and chest injury.

After complete inflation, the air bag

immediately starts deflating,

enabling the driver to maintain for-

ward visibility and the ability to steer

or operate other controls.
