SAFETY INFORMATION
the front passenger's seat, note that the system will automatically turn off
the front passenger's airbag if the sensor's detect that the child is
approximately 65 lbs (29 kg) or less.
For the advanced airbags to work properly:
• Do not spill any liquid on or under the seats.
• Do not put any object under the passenger's seat.
• Make sure any objects are positioned properly on the floor. Improperly
positioned objects can interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.
• All occupants should sit upright and wear their seat belts properly.
• Do not cover the passenger's side dashboard with a cloth, towel, cover,
etc.
Make sure the floor mat behind the front passenger's seat is hooked to the
floor mat anchor. An improperly placed mat can interfere with the advanced
airbag sensors.
Side Airbags
n
The side airbags help protect the upper torso and pelvis of the driver or a
front passenger during a moderate-to-severe side impact. They are housed
in the outside edge of the driver's and front passenger's seat-backs. Both
are marked SIDE AIRBAG.
Side Curtain Airbags
n
Side curtain airbags help protect the
heads of the driver and passengers in
outer seating positions during a
moderate-to-severe side impact. The
side curtain airbags equipped in this
vehicle are also designed to help
reduce the likelihood of partial and
complete ejection of vehicle occupants
through side windows in crashes,
particularly rollover crashes.
The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling above the side windows
on both sides of the vehicle.

The side curtain airbags are deigned to
deploy in a rollover or moderate-to-
severe side impact. If the SRS control
unit senses that your vehicles is about
to roll over, it immediately deploys both
side curtain airbags and activates both
front seat belt tensioners. If the impact
is on the passenger's side, the
passenger's side curtain airbag will
inflate even if there are no occupants
on that side of the vehicle.
To get the best protection from the side
curtain airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts properly and sit
upright and well back in their seats.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars, as they can
interfere with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airbags may inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled
frontal collision.
Important Facts About Your Airbags
n
Always wear your seat belt properly, sit upright, and as far back from the
steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. A front
passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as
possible.
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other
sharp object in your mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on the front airbag covers. Objects on the
covers marked SRS AIRBAGcould interfere with the proper operation of the
airbags or be propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the airbags
inflate.
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags. They can interfere
with the proper operation of the airbags or hurt someone if an airbag
inflates.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars. They can
interfere with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
