* The actual air bags in the vehicle
may differ from the illustration.
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
air bag in each front seat.
The purpose of the air bag is to pro -
vide the vehicle's driver and/or the
front passenger with additional pro -
tection than that offered by the
seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side-
impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and
point of impact. However, when side
deployment threshold is satisfied at
front-impact, side air bags may
deploy. The side air bags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact
or rollover situations.
The side air bags may deploy on the
side of the impact or on both side.

if equipped with rollover sensor
Also, both side of the side air bags
deploy in certain rollover situa -
tions.
The side air bag may deploy when
the rollover sensor detects the
situation as a rollover.
WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to lean
their heads or bodies onto doors,
put their arms on the doors, stretch
their arms out of the window, or
place objects between the doors and
passengers when they are seated
on seats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
WARNING
The side air bag is supplemental
to the driver's and the passen -
ger's seat belt systems and is not
a substitute for them. Therefore
your seat belts must be worn at
all times whilst the vehicle is in
motion. The air bags deploy only
in certain side impact or rollover*
conditions severe enough to cause
significant injury to the vehicle
occupants.
For best protection from the side
air bag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side air
