WARNING!
• Being too close to the steering wheel or
instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious
injury, including death. Air bags need room
to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending
your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
• Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag can cause death
or serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing
child restraint.
• Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Advanced Front Air Bag Features
The Advanced Front Air Bag system provides
output appropriate to the severity and type of
collision as determined by the Occupant Re-
straint Controller (ORC), which may receive
information from the front impact sensors or
other system components.
This vehicle may be equipped with a driver
and/or front passenger seat belt buckle switch
that detects whether the driver or front passen-
ger seat belt is buckled. The seat belt buckle
switch may adjust the inflation rate of the Ad-
vanced Front Air Bags.
WARNING!
• No objects should be placed over or near
the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel, because any such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air
bags to inflate.
• Do not put anything on or around the air
bag covers or attempt to open them manu-
ally. You may damage the air bags and you
could be injured because the air bags may
no longer be functional. The protective
covers for the air bag cushions are de-
signed to open only when the air bags are
inflating.
