If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact your
authorized dealer
.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS)
.
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instru-
ment panel below the steering column
.
The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag provides
enhanced protection during a frontal impact by working together with the seat belts, pre-
tensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags
.
WARNING!
•
Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision
.
The
air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly
.
In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all
.
Always wear your seat belts even though you have air
bags
.
•
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
.
•
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 bag to inflate
.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs) located in
the outboard side of the front seats
.
The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or AIR-
BAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats
.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs) lo-
cated above the side windows
.
The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG or
AIRBAG
.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle
occupants through side windows in certain rollover or side impact events
.
The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side impacts
and certain rollover events
.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) determines
whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side impact or rollover event
is appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision
.
Vehicle damage by itself is not a
good indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags should have deployed
.
