Advanced Front Air Bags
This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint systems
.
The Advanced Front Air Bags will not de-
ploy in every type of collision
.
Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing
the seat belts
.
Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury in
rear, side, or rollover collisions
.
The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that
may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck un-
derrides, and angle offset collisions
.
On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front Air
Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a se-
vere initial deceleration
.
Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and dam-
age by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have de-
ployed
.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed to help
keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag
.
After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately
.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed
.
If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you
.
