Airbag System Your vehicle has a frontal airbag for the driver, a frontal airbag for the passenger, a side impact airbag for the driver, and a side impact airbag for the passenger. Airbags are designed to supplement the protection provided by safety belts.

Here are the most important things to know about the airbag system: {CAUTION: You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if you are not wearing your safety belt - even if you have airbags. Wearing your safety belt during a crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. Airbags are "supplemental restraints" to the safety belts. All airbags are designed to work with safety belts, but do not replace them. 44
