Side air bags
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
air bag in each front seat. The pur-
pose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and the front passen-
ger 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 sever-
ity, angle, speed and point of impact.
The side air bags on both sides of
the vehicle are designed to deploy
when a rollover is detected by a
rollover sensor. (if equipped with
rollover sensor)
The side air bags are not designed to
deploy in all side impact or rollover
situations.
OPDEN037042
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.
OPD036043
•
Do not allow 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 the doors and seats.

•
Hold the steering wheel at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions,
to minimise 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. In an accident
it may cause vehicle damage
or personal injury especially
when air bag 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.
