The airbag system is not a substitute for the seat belts.

Driver's airbag in steering wheel

Front passenger's airbag in dashboard

The front airbag for the driver is located in the padded hub of the steering wheel ⇒ fig. 214. The front airbag for the front passenger is in the dashboard above the glove box ⇒ fig. 215. The locations of the airbags are marked with the word “AIRBAG”.

In conjunction with the three-point seat belts, the front airbags give additional head and chest protection for the driver and front passenger in the event of a severe frontal collision ⇒ in “Important safety notes on the front airbag system” on page 204.
