SAFETY INFORMATION
• Do not cover the passenger's side dashboard with a cloth, towel, cover, etc.
Side Airbags
n
The side airbags help protect the upper torso and pelvis of the driver or a
passenger during a moderate-to-severe side impact. They are housed in the
outside edge of the driver's and passenger's seat-backs. Both are marked SIDE
AIRBAG.
Side Curtain Airbags
n
Side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver or a passenger during a
moderate-to-severe side impact. The side curtain airbags equipped in this vehicle
are also designed to help reduce the likelihood of partial and complete ejection
of vehicle occupants through side windows in crashes, particularly rollover
crashes.
12 |
The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling above the side windows on
both sides of the vehicle.
The side curtain airbags are deigned to deploy in a rollover or moderate-to-
severe side impact. If the SRS control unit senses that your vehicles is about to
roll over, it immediately deploys both side curtain airbags and activates both
front seat belt tensioners. If the impact is on the passenger's side, the passenger's
side curtain airbag will inflate even if there are no occupants on that side of the
vehicle.
To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants should wear
their seat belts properly and sit upright and well back in their seats.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars, as they can
interfere with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airbags may inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled
frontal collision.
n Important Facts About Your Airbags
Always wear your seat belt properly, sit upright, and as far back from the
steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. A front
passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as possible.
