Safety system
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air-
bag in each front seat.
The purpose of the airbag 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 airbags are designed to deploy
only during certain side impact colli-
sions, depending on the crash severity.
For vehicles equipped with a rollover
sensor the side and/or curtain airbags
and pre-tensioners on both sides of the
vehicle may deploy if a rollover or pos-
sible rollover is detected.
The side airbags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover situ-
ations.

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 posi-
tioned properly.
• Do not allow passengers to lean
their heads or bodies onto doors,
put their arms on the doors, stretch

place objects between the doors
and seats.
• Do not use any accessory seat
covers. This could reduce or pre-
vent the effectiveness of the sys-
tem.
• Do not place any objects over the
airbag or between the airbag and
yourself. Also, do not attach any
objects around the area the airbag

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 dangerous projectiles if
the side airbag inflates.
• Do not install any accessories on
the side or near the side airbags.
