Where are the air bags?
Driver’s and passenger’s air
bags (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) and lap/shoulder belts at both
the driver and passenger seating
positions.
The SRS consists of frontal air bags
which are located in the center of the
steering wheel and the passenger's
side front panel pad above the glove
box.
The air bags are labeled with the let-
ters “AIR BAG” embossed on the pad
covers.
The purpose of the frontal SRS is to
provide the vehicle's driver and front
passengers with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt sys-
tem alone in case of a frontal impact of
sufficient severity.

To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death from an inflating
front air bags, take the following
precautions:
•
Seat belts must be worn at all
times to help keep occupants
positioned properly.
•
Move your seat as far back as
possible from front air bags,
while still maintaining control
of the vehicle.
•
Never lean against the door or
center console.
•
Do not allow the front passen-
ger to place their feet or legs on
the dashboard.
•
No objects (such as crash pad
cover, cellular phone holder,
cup holder, perfume or stickers)
should be placed over or near
the air bag modules on the
steering wheel,
instrument
panel, windshield glass, and the
front passenger's panel above
the glove box. Such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle
is in a crash severe enough to
cause the air bags to deploy.
