Safety features of your vehicle
the front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles if the side airbag
inflates.
WARNING
No attaching objects
僅 Do not place any objects over the air
bag or between the air bag and your-
self. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the air bag inflates
such as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar.
僅 Do not put any objects between the
side airbag label and seat cushion. It
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause the air
bags to deploy.
僅 Never place or insert any object into
any small opening near side airbag
labels attached to the vehicle seats.
When the air bag deploys, the object
may affect the deployment and result
in unexpected accident or bodily
harm.
僅 Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side air bags.
Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front
and rear doors.

* The actual air bags in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.
They are designed to help protect occu-
pants in certain side impacts and to help
prevent them from ejecting out of the
vehicle as a result of a rollover, espe-
cially when the seat belts are also in use.
僅 The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact col-
lisions, depending on the severity of
impact. However, when side deploy-
ment threshold is satisfied at front-
impact, side air bags may deploy.
僅 The curtain air bags may deploy on
the side of the impact or on both
sides.
僅 Also, the curtain air bags on both
sides of the vehicle will deploy in cer-
tain rollover situations.
