(Continued)
• Never place or insert any object in‐
to any small opening near side air‐
bag labels attached to the vehicle
seats. When the air bag deploys,
the object may affect the deploy‐
ment and result in unexpected ac‐
cident or bodily harm.
WARNING
n No attaching objects
No objects (such as crash pad cover,
cellular phone holder, cup holder,
perfume or stickers) should be
placed over or near the air bag mod‐
ules on the steering wheel, instru‐
ment 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. Do not place any ob‐
jects over the air bag or between the
air bag and yourself.
Side air bag (if equipped)
❈
The actual air bags in the vehicle
may differ from the illustration.
Your vehicle is equipped with a side air
bag in each front seat.
The purpose of the air bag is to provide
the vehicle's driver and/or the front
passenger with additional protection
than that offered by the seat belt
alone.
The side air bags are designed to de‐
ploy only during certain side impact col‐
lisions, depending on the crash severity
of impact.
However, when side deployment
threshold is satisfied at front-impact,
side air bags may deploy. The side air
bags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact or rollover situations.
The side air bags may deploy on the
side of the impact or on both side.
NOTICE
n if equipped with rollover sen‐
sor
• Also, both side of the side air bags
deploy in certain rollover situa‐
tions.
• The side air bag may deploy when
the rollover sensor detects the sit‐
uation as a rollover.
