Safety system of your vehicle
Side air bags
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat.
2-56
The purpose of the air bag is to provide
the vehicle's driver and the front pas-
senger with additional protection than
that offered by the seat belt alone.
The side air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact col-
lisions, depending on the crash
severity.
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact situations.
OOS037040
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
side air bag, take the following
precautions:
•
Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
•
Do not allow passengers to
lean their heads or bodies onto
doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
OOS037041 the window, or place objects
between the doors and seats.
WARNING
•
Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions,
to minimize the risk of injuries
to your hands and arms.
•
Do not use any accessory
seat covers. This could reduce
or prevent the effectiveness
of the system.
•
Do not hang other objects
except clothes on the clothes
hanger. In an accident it may
cause vehicle damage or per-
sonal injury especially when
airbag is inflated.
•
Do not place any objects over
the air bag or between the air
bag and yourself. Also, do not
attach any objects around the
area the air bag inflates such
as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar.
•
Do not place any objects
between the door and the
seat. They may become dan-
gerous projectiles if the side
air bag inflates.
