Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact your
authorized dealer.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS).
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the
instrument panel below the steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
provides enhanced protection during a frontal impact by working together with the seat
belts, pretensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags.
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The
air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air
bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air
Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need room to
inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
• No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs) located
in the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or
AIRBAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs)
located above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG or
AIRBAG. The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle
occupants through side windows in certain rollover or side impact events.
The SABICs and SABs ("Side Air Bags") are designed to activate in certain side impacts
and certain rollover events. The Occupant Restraint Controller ("ORC") determines
whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side impact or rollover event
is appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not
a good indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.
