Two side airbags, one for the driver and one for a front passenger. The airbags are stored in the outer edges of the seatbacks. Both are marked ''SIDE AIRBAG'' (see page 32). Two side curtain airbags, one for each side of the vehicle. The airbags are stored in the ceiling above the side windows. The front and rear pillars are marked ''SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG'' (see page 34).

Sensors that can detect a moderate to severe front impact, side impact, or if your vehicle is about to rollover. Sensors that can detect whether a child is in the passenger's side airbag path and signal the control unit to turn the airbag off (see page 33). ● ● Sensors that can detect whether the driver's seat belt and the front passenger's seat belt are latched or unlatched (see page 21).
