1Side Airbags
Make sure you, your front seat passenger, and rear
outboard seat occupants always sit upright. Leaning
into the path of a side airbag can prevent the airbag
from deploying properly and increases your risk of
serious injury.
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags.
They can interfere with the proper operation of the
airbags, or hurt someone if an airbag inflates.
Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers
without consulting a dealer.
Improperly replacing or covering front seat-back
covers can prevent your side airbags from properly
deploying during a side impact.
Side airbag deployment is controlled by a pressure
sensor inside each front door. Damage or changes to
the inside or outside of the doors may negatively
affect side airbag deployment. Contact an authorized
dealer before changing or repairing a front door.
