front passenger's seat in such a way
that jamming, pressing, or squeezing
occurs between the object and the

of the correct use of the Automatic
Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking
Retractor (ALR/ELR) seat belt (Child
restraints (p. 47)).

As an enhancement to the structural side
impact protection built into your vehicle, it is
also equipped with Side Impact Protection
System (SIPS) airbags.

Location of the side impact (SIPS) airbags (front
seats only)
The SIPS airbag system is designed to help
increase occupant protection in the event of
certain side impact collisions. The SIPS air-
bags are designed to deploy only during cer-
tain side-impact collisions, depending on the
crash severity, angle, speed and point of
impact.
Driver's side SIPS airbag
Passenger's side SIPS airbag
NOTE
SIPS airbag deployment (one airbag)
occurs only on the side of the vehicle
affected by the impact. The airbags are not
designed to deploy in all side impact situa-
tions.
