• In frontal collisions with a fixed wall that

Side Air Bags and Side Curtain Air
Bags
EXAMPLE
80J106
Side air bags and side curtain air bags are
designed to inflate in severe side impact
collisions when the ignition switch is in the
"ON" position or the ignition mode is "ON".
Side air bags and side curtain air bags are
not designed to inflate in frontal or rear col-
lisions, rollovers or minor side collisions,
since they would offer no protection in
80J107
those types of accidents. Only the side air
bag and side curtain air bag on the side of
the vehicle that is struck will inflate. How-
ever, in a frontal angle collision, the side air
bags and side curtain air bags may inflate.
Remember, since an air bag deploys only
one time during an accident, seat belts are
BEFORE DRIVING
needed to restrain occupants from further
movements during the accident.
Therefore, an air bag is NOT a substitute
for seat belts. To maximize your protection,
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS. Be
aware that no system can prevent all pos-
sible injuries that may occur in an accident.
Side air bags
68KM090
Side air bags are located in the part of the
front seatbacks closest to the doors. The
"SRS AIRBAG" labels are attached to the
seatbacks to identify the location of the
side air bags.
