Air bags help protect the driver and right front-seat passenger in certain collisions by supplementing the protection provided by safety belts. Dual-stage frontal air bags utilize sensors to detect the severity of a crash, and then determine whether the air bags should be deployed and at what level of force.
The Passenger Sensing System automatically switches the right-front passenger frontal air bag on or off based on the passenger's weight and the type of pressure on the seat.
Head-curtain side-impact air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head injuries to first- and second-row outboard occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions.
Always use safety belts and the correct child restraint for your child's age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active frontal air bag. Head curtain air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head injuries to front and outboard rear-seat occupants during certain side-impact collisions. See the vehicle Owner's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more information.
