Seating positions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of accidental injury from 
inflating airbags, seat belts should be 
correctly worn at all times. In addition, both 
driver and front seat passenger should adjust 
their seat to provide the maximum practical 
distance from the front airbags. Front seat 
and outer rear seat occupants should also 
ensure that a gap is maintained between the 
upper torso and head, and the side of the 
vehicle, to enable unobstructed inflation of 
the side thorax...

Dual stage deployment
The front airbags deploy in two stages, 
depending on the severity of the frontal 
collision. The unit monitors the rate of 
deceleration or acceleration during the impact 
and, if a relatively minor frontal impact in which 
airbag deployment is warranted occurs, the 
airbags only inflate sufficiently to protect the 
front seat occupants from the forward 
movement caused by the impact. If, however 
the system detects a relatively severe frontal 
impact, the airbags...

Side airbags
WARNING
Ensure that a gap is maintained between the 
upper torso and the side of the vehicle, to 
enable unobstructed inflation of the side 
thorax airbags.
Side thorax airbags are designed to protect the 
thorax region of the torso and will only deploy 
in the event of a severe side impact. They will 
NOT inflate as a result of frontal or rear impacts 
only.
In the event of a severe side collision, the 
airbags on the impacted side of the vehicle 
deploy from the door,...

once to fold the mirrors into the side windows.
