The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system supplements
the protection of the driver and passenger seat belts.
The Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system deploys an airbag
from the following locations:
• | The center of the steering wheel |
• | The top of the right side of the instrument panel |
The air bag deploys when the vehicle is involved in a frontal crash
of sufficient force up to 30 degrees off the centerline of the vehicle.
Additional crash energy is absorbed by the following elements:
• | A knee bolster beneath the instrument panel on the driver's side
of the vehicle |
• | A knee bolster beneath the instrument panel on the passenger's
side of the vehicle |
• | A collapsible steering column |
