Safety features of your vehicle Air bag - advanced supplemental restraint system
with side air bags and an occupant
detection system.
WARNING
Flying objects
Do not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door and
the front seat. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles if the side airbag
inflates.
WARNING
No attaching objects
僅 Do not place any objects over the air
bag or between the air bag and your
-
self. Also, do not attach any objects
around the area the air bag inflates
such as the door, side door glass,
front and rear pillar.
僅 Do not put any objects between the
side airbag label and seat cushion. It
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
crash severe enough to cause the air
bags to deploy.
僅 Never place or insert any object into
any small opening near side airbag
labels attached to the vehicle seats.
When the air bag deploys, the object
may affect the deployment and result
in unexpected accident or bodily
harm.
僅 Do not install any accessories on the
side or near the side air bags.
Curtain air bag
* The actual air bags in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front
and rear doors.
They are designed to help protect occu
-
pants in certain side impacts and to help
prevent them from ejecting out of the
vehicle as a result of a rollover, espe
-
cially when the seatbelts are also in use.
僅 The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy during certain side impact col
-
lisions, depending on the crash sever
-
ity, angle, speed and point of impact.
However, when side deployment
threshold is satisfied at front impact,
side air bags may deploy.
