Safety features of your vehicle
The side air bags and driver's centre air
bag are designed to deploy only during
certain side-impact collisions, depending
on the crash severity, angle, speed and
point of impact. The side air bags and
driver's centre air bag are not designed
to deploy in all side impact situations.

WARNING
Do not allow the passengers to lean their
heads or bodies onto doors, put their
arms on the doors, stretch their arms out
of the window, or place objects between

or curtain air bags.
Air bag - supplemental restraint system
NOTICE
Rollover sensor
僅 Also, both side of the side air bags
deploy in certain rollover situations.
僅 The side air bag may deploy when the
rollover sensor detects the situation
as a rollover.
WARNING
僅 The side air bag and driver's centre air
bag are supplemental to the driver's
and the passenger's seat belt systems
and is not a substitute for them.
Therefore your seat belts must be
worn at all times whilst the vehicle is
in motion. The air bags deploy only in
certain side impact or rollover condi-
tions (Only vehicle equipped with roll-
over sensor) severe enough to cause
significant injury to the vehicle occu-
pants.
僅 For best protection from the side air
bag system and to avoid being injured
by the deploying side air bag, both
front seat occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat belt
properly fastened.
僅 Do not use any accessory seat covers.
僅 Use of seat covers could reduce or
prevent the effectiveness of the sys-
tem.
僅 To prevent unexpected deployment
of the side air bag and driver's centre
air bag that may result in personal
injury, avoid impact to the side impact
sensor when the ignition key is on.
僅 If the seat or seat cover is damaged,
have the system serviced by a profes-
sional workshop.
