The front airbags can help protect the driver and front passenger from severe injury if they are properly seated during a collision. The airbags on each side deploy independently of one another.
The driver side and the passenger side each have one front airbag. The driver side airbag is packed inside the steering wheel and the passenger side airbag is packed behind a panel above the glove box.
All front airbag locations are marked with the text AIRBAG or SRS AIRBAG.
Warning
Do not block the front airbags
- Do not place luggage, children or pets in the space between the seated occupant and the front airbags, including in the occupant's lap.
- Legs or feet must never be placed on the dashboard. This could endanger life or lead to serious injury.
- Do not place or mount any items on the dashboard. Even small objects can become dangerous projectiles in a collision and end up between inflating airbags and occupants.
Blocking airbags in general
Keep all airbag locations and expansion spaces free of obstructions. Obstructions can reduce airbag effectiveness and cause serious injury.
- Follow the instructions for a correct sitting posture.
- Properly stow luggage and other objects. The car has several luggage compartments for safe stowing.
- Do not modify or mount accessories to any panel covering an airbag or adjacent panels.
Warning
Child restraints and front passenger seat
