Advanced Front Air Bags
This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy
in every type of collision.
Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing
the seat belts. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear,
side, or rollover collisions.
The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that
may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck
underrides, and angle offset collisions.
On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front Air
Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a severe
initial deceleration.
Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and
damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed to help
keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
