Types of Airbags

Your vehicle is equipped with four types of airbags:

  • Front airbags: Airbags in front of the driver’s and front passenger’s seats.
  • Knee airbags: Airbags under the steering column and under the glove box.
  • Side airbags: Airbags in the driver's and front passenger's outer seat-backs and next to the outer rear seating positions.
  • Side curtain airbags: Airbags above the side windows.

Each is discussed in the following pages.

Detail
The airbags can inflate whenever the power mode is in ON.

After an airbag inflates in a crash, you may see a small amount of smoke. This is from the combustion process of the inflator material and is not harmful. People with respiratory problems may experience some temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get out of the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
