WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
front air bags, take the following
precautions:
•
Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
•
Move your seat as far back as
possible from front air bags,
while still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
•
Never lean against the door or
center console.
•
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place their feet or legs on
the dashboard.
•
No objects should be placed
over or near the air bag mod-
ules on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, and the front
passenger's panel above the
glove box. Such objects could
cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause
the air bags to deploy.
Side air bags
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat. The purpose of
the air bag is to provide the vehicle's
driver and the front passenger with
additional protection than that offered
by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact col-
lisions, depending on the crash sever-
ity, angle, speed and point of impact.
The side and curtain air bags on
both sides of the vehicle may deploy
if a rollover or possible rollover is
detected.
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.
