OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS

Some of the most important safety features in
your vehicle are the restraint systems:
• Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all
seating positions
• Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front
passenger
• Supplemental Active Head Restraints (AHR)
located on top of the front seats (integrated
into the head restraint)
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABIC) for the driver and passengers
seated next to a window
• An energy-absorbing steering column and
steering wheel
• Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occu-
pants
• Front seat belts incorporate pretensioners
that may enhance occupant protection by
managing occupant energy during an im-
pact event
If you will be carrying children too small for
adult-sized seat belts, the seat belts or the
ISOFIX feature also can be used to hold infant
and child restraint systems. For more informa-
tion, refer to ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage
System.
NOTE:
The Advanced Front Air Bags have a multi-
stage inflator design. This allows the air bag
to have different rates of inflation based on
the severity and type of collision.

this section. It tells you how to use your restraint
