•
Dual Front Airbags/Knee Blocker Airbag - Mul-
tistage driver and front passenger airbags are
used in this vehicle. This airbag system is a pas-
sive, inflatable, Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) and vehicles with this equipment can be
readily identified by the SRS - AIRBAG logo
molded into the driver airbag trim cover in the
center of the steering wheel and also into the
passenger airbag area of the instrument panel
top panel above the glove box. Vehicles with the
airbag system can also be identified by the air-
bag indicator, which will illuminate in the Electro-
Mechanical
Instrument
Cluster
(EMIC)
(also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) for
about seven seconds as a bulb test each time
the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. A pyrotechnic-type seat belt tensioner is also integral to the
front seat belt tensioner units mounted on both left and right side B-pillars to work in conjunction with the dual
front airbags. The front airbag system also includes a Knee Blocker Airbag (if equipped) that is located just
beneath the steering column, behind the under column cover. If not equipped with the knee blocker airbag, a
rigid plastic brace will replace it in the instrument panel to prevent the driver from being pushed underneath the
instrument panel in the case of a frontal impact.
•
Occupant Classification System - Vehicles manufactured for sale in North America (except Mexico) also
include an Occupant Classification System (OCS) with components that are located on the front seats. These
components include an Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and four seat weight sensors on the passenger
seat, and seat track position sensors on both the driver and passenger front seats. Vehicles equipped with the
OCS components can be readily identified by a passenger airbag on/off indicator located on the Accessory
Switch Bank Module (ASBM) on the instrument panel center stack, just below the heat and A/C controls.
