WARNING!
• Being too close to the steering wheel or
instrument panel during front air bag deploy-
ment could cause serious injury, including
death. Air bags need room to inflate. Sit
back, comfortably extending your arms to
reach the steering wheel or instrument
panel.
• Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious
injury to a child 12 years or younger, includ-
ing a child in a rear-facing child restraint.
• Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Driver And Passenger Front Air Bag Features
The Advanced Front Air Bag system has multistage
driver and front passenger air bags. This system
provides output appropriate to the severity and
type of collision as determined by the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC), which may receive in-
formation from the front impact sensors (if
equipped) or other system components.
The first stage inflator is triggered immediately
during an impact that requires air bag deploy-
ment. A low energy output is used in less severe
collisions. A higher energy output is used for more
severe collisions.
This vehicle may be equipped with a driver and/or
front passenger seat belt buckle switch that de-
tects whether the driver or front passenger seat
belt is buckled. The seat belt buckle switch may
adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air
Bags.
This vehicle may be equipped with driver and/or
front passenger seat track position sensors that
may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front
Air Bags based upon seat position.
WARNING!
• No objects should be placed over or near the
air bag on the instrument panel or steering
wheel because any such objects could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a collision
severe enough to cause the air bag to in-
flate.
