Air Bag Systems
This part explains the frontal and side impact air bag
systems.
Your vehicle has six air bags:
•
A frontal air bag for the driver and another frontal
air bag for the right front passenger,
•
a seat mounted side impact air bag for the driver
and another for the right front passenger,
•
a roof-mounted side impact air bag for the driver
and passenger directly behind the driver, and
•
a roof-mounted side impact air bag for the right
front passenger and the person seated directly
behind that passenger.

injury from the force of an inflating air bag. But these
air bags must inflate very quickly to do their job
and comply with federal regulations.

CAUTION:
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash
if you aren’t wearing your safety belt – even if
you have air bags. Wearing your safety belt
during a crash helps reduce your chance of
hitting things inside the vehicle or being
ejected from it. Air bags are “supplemental
restraints” to the safety belts. All air bags are
designed to work with safety belts but don’t
replace them.
