Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and front passenger,
and position the front occupants for improved interaction with the front air bags.
WARNING!
• Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee impact bolsters in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the knee impact bolsters such as alarm lights,
stereos, citizen band radios, etc.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Your vehicle is equipped with two types of supplemental Side Air Bags:
1.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs): Located in the outboard side of the
front seats. The SABs are marked with a “SRS AIRBAG” or AIRBAG label sewn into the
outboard side of the seats.
The SABs may help to reduce the risk
of occupant injury during certain side
impacts, in addition to the injury re-
duction potential provided by the
seat belts and body structure.
When the SAB deploys, it opens the
seam on the outboard side of the
seatback’s trim cover. The inflating
SAB deploys through the seat seam
into the space between the occupant
and the door. The SAB moves at a
very high speed and with such a high
force that it could injure occupants if
they are not seated properly, or if
items are positioned in the area
where the SAB inflates. Children are
at an even greater risk of injury from a
deploying air bag.
WARNING!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
