WARNING: Do not use accessory
seat covers. The use of accessory seat
covers may prevent the deployment of the
side airbags and increase the risk of injury
in an accident.
WARNING: Do not lean your head
on the door. The side airbag could injure
you as it deploys from the side of the
seatback.
The side airbags are on the outermost side
of the seat backrests of the front seats. In
certain sideways crashes or rollovers, the
airbags will be inflated. The airbag was
designed to inflate between the door panel
and occupant to further enhance the
protection provided occupants in side impact
crashes.
E152533
The system consists of the following:
•
A label or embossed side panel
indicating that side airbags are fitted to
your vehicle.
•
Side airbags inside the driver and front
passenger seat backrests.
•
Crash sensors and monitoring system
with readiness indicator.
HOW DO THE KNEE AIRBAGS
WORK
WARNING: Close the glove box door
when your vehicle is moving. Failure to
follow this instruction could reduce the
effectiveness of the passenger knee airbag
and increase the risk of injury in a crash.
A driver knee airbag is under or within the
instrument panel. A passenger knee airbag
is within or under the glove box door. During
a crash, the restraints control module may
activate the driver and passenger knee
airbags based on crash severity and
occupant conditions. Under certain crash
and occupant conditions, the driver and
passenger knee airbag may deploy but the
driver front airbag may not activate. As with
front and side airbags, it is important to be
properly seated and restrained to reduce the
risk of death or serious injury.

Make sure the knee airbags are
operating properly.
