The airbags deploy only in certain
side impact conditions severe
enough to cause significant injury
to the vehicle occupants.
o For best protection from the side
airbag system and to avoid being
injured by the deploying side im-
pact airbag, each seat occupants
should sit in an upright position
with the seat belt properly fas-
tened. The driver's hands should
be placed on the steering wheel at
the 9:00 and 3:00 positions. The
passenger's arms and hands
should be placed on their laps.
o Do not use any accessory seat
covers.
o Use of seat covers could reduce
or prevent the effectiveness of
the system.
o Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side impact
airbag.
o Do not use excessive force on the
side of the seat.
o Do not place any objects over the
airbag or between the airbag and
yourself.
o Do not place any objects (an um-
brella, bag, etc.) between the front
door and the front seat. Such ob-
jects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the
supplemental side impact air bag
inflates.
o To prevent unexpected deploy-
ment of the side impact air bag
that may result in personal injury,
avoid impact to the side airbag
sensor when the ignition key is
on.

Curtain Airbag (If Installed)
Curtain Airbag
HLZ2051
Curtain airbags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front
and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the
heads of the front seat occupants and
the rear outboard seat occupants in
certain side impact collisions.
The curtain airbags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash se-
verity, angle, speed and impact. The
curtain airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations,
collisions from the front or rear of the
vehicle or in most rollover situations.
