The Passenger Airbag (PAB) is integral to the top of the dashboard and bolts to the frame. The PAB contains an active vent.

In North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) versions, the PAB is a multistage, adaptive-deployment airbag. The airbag contains three squib circuits. Two squibs inflate the airbag, the third squib activates the last charge which allows the cushion to follow a curve of deflation appropriate to impact severity.

Only the single charge is available in the Europe-Middle East-Africa (EMEA) market.

The PAB cannot be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed, ineffective or in any way damaged. The PAB door and retainer are serviced only as a unit with the instrument panel cover. If the PAB is deployed, the PAB mounting bracket and the instrument panel must also be replaced.
