Side impact air bag (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a side
impact air bag in each front seat. The
purpose of the air bag is to provide the
vehicle's driver and/or the front passen-
ger with additional protection than that
offered by the seat belt alone.

• If a driver brakes the vehicle
heavily in an urgent situations,
occupants will be thrown for-
ward. If front passengers are not
wearing the seat belts, they will
be directly in front of the air bags
when inflation occurs. In that sit-
uation, severe injury or death is
possible.
• Never allow a front passenger
put their hands or feet on the
instrument panel or put their face
close to the instrument panel. The
air bag will impact the front pas-
senger when it inflates.

• Never allow children/elder and
feeble persons/pregnant women
sit on the front passenger’s seat.
Do not put a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger’s seat
either. They may be seriously
injured by the air bag inflation
when the air bag deploys.
• Do not put objects or stickers on
the instrument panel. Do not
apply any accessory on the front
windshield glass or do not install
aftermarket mirrors or acces-
sories on the factory installed
rearview mirror. These may inter-
fere with the deployment of air
bag inflation or could hit your
body at high speed and cause
severe bodily injury and even
death.
