The short answer: in the 2014 Accord, airbags are located in the steering wheel (driver), the passenger-side dashboard, the front seats (side airbags), and along the roofline (side curtain airbags); a driver’s knee airbag may be included on some trims.
Beyond that basic layout, the airbag system in the 2014 Accord is part of Honda’s optional SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) and uses sensors and seat-weight information to determine deployment. Availability of certain components like a knee airbag depends on trim level and market.
