Your vehicle is also equipped with
two seat-mounted side-impact air
bags and two roof-mounted air
bags.
During a side collision, the seat-
mounted air bag, on the same side
of the vehicle as the impact, may
inflate from the outboard side of
the front seatback.
Both roof-mounted side impact air
bags are designed to inflate when
either side of the vehicle is struck
during a side collision, severe fron-
tal impact or a vehicle rollover to
protect the driver, the front
passenger and the two passengers
directly behind them.
Section 2
In a rollover event, roof-rail airbag
deployment is determined by the
direction of the roll.
Rollover capable roof-mounted
side impact air bags help reduce
the risk of full or partial ejection in
rollover events, although no
system can prevent all such
ejections.
Roof-mounted rollover air bags are
not designed to inflate in a rear
crash.
If battery power is available, the
doors may automatically unlock
and the interior lights will come on
when an air bag inflates.
The hazard warning flashers will
also turn on when an air bag
inflates.
You can lock the doors, turn the
interior lights off and turn the
hazard warning flashers off by
using the controls for those
features.
