HONDA 2011 Civic Hybrid - Manual (Page 34)

If you ever have a moderate to
severe side impact, sensors will
detect rapid acceleration and signal
the control unit to instantly inflate
either the driver’s or the passenger’s
side airbag.
Only one airbag will deploy during a
side impact. If the impact is on the
passenger’s side, the passenger’s
side airbag will deploy even if there
is no passenger.
To get the best protection from the
side airbags, front seat occupants
should wear their seat belts and sit
upright and well back in their seats.
Also, make sure the floor mat behind
the front passenger’s seat is properly
positioned on the floor (see page
). If it is not, the mat may
interfere with the proper operation
of the front passenger’s seat and its
sensors.
