for the driver and front passenger. Left and right wind ow
airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant
protection.

The seat belts are designed to protect you in many typ es
of collisions. The front airbags deploy only in moderate
to severe frontal collisions. If you r vehicle is so equ ipped,
the wind ow bag on the crash side of the vehicle is
triggered in moderate to severe side collisions. In certain
typ es of collisions where the airbags deploy, you need the
seat belts to keep you in the right position for the airbags
to protect you prop erly.
