The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when...
The side airbags and curtain airbags are not de-
signed to deploy in conditions where they cannot
usually provide protection to the occupant. Typical
conditions are shown in the illustration.
Head-on collisions
Rear end collisions
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not
protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be
sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
WARNING
l The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and pas-
senger seat belts in certain side impacts.
Seat belts should always be worn proper-
ly, and the driver and passenger should
sit well back and upright without leaning
against the window or door.
WARNING
l The side airbags and curtain airbags in-
flate with great force. The driver and
front passenger should not put their arms
out the window, and should not lean
against the door, in order to reduce the
risk of serious or possible fatal injury
from the deploying side airbag and cur-
tain airbag.
WARNING
l Do not allow a child to kneel on the pas-
senger seat facing the passenger's side
door, since the side airbags and curtain
airbags inflate with great force.
Otherwise, the child may be killed or seri-
ously injured.

Seat and seat belts
WARNING
l Do not allow any rear seat occupant to
hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce risk of injury
from the deploying side airbag. Special
care should be taken with children.
l Do not place any objects near or in front
of the seatback of either front seat. They
could interfere with proper side airbag in-
flation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.
l Do not place stickers, labels or additional
trim on the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side air-
bag inflation.
l Do not install seat covers on seats with
side airbags. Do not re-cover seats that
have side airbags. This could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.
