WARNING
!
Seating Position with Front AirBags:Sitting too close to the air bag
storage compartments or placing
hands or feet on them is
extremely dangerous. Front air
bags inflate with great force and
speed.
Serious injuries could occur if
someone is too close. The driver
should always hold onto only the
rim of the steering wheel. The
front seat passenger should keep
both feet on the floor. Front seat
occupants should adjust their
seats as far back as possible and(Continued)
always sit upright against the
seatbacks with seat belts worn
properly.
WARNING
!
Seating Position with Side AirBagsSitting too close to the side air bag
storage compartments or placing
hands on them is extremely
dangerous. A side air bag inflates
with great force and speed directly
out of the outboard shoulder of
the front seat and expands along
the front door on the side the car
is hit.
Serious injury could occur if
someone is sitting too close to the
door or leaning against a window
in the front seats or if rear seat
occupants grab the sides of the(Continued)

front seatbacks. Furthermore,
sleeping up against the door or
hanging out the driver’s-side
window while driving could block
the side air bag and eliminate the
advantages of supplemental
protection.
Give the side air-bags room to
work by sitting in the center of the
seat while the vehicle is moving
with seat belts worn properly.

NOTEWhen an air bag deploys, a loud
inflation noise can be heard and
some smoke will be released.
Neither is likely to cause injury.

Hot Air Bag Inflators:Hot air bag inflators are
dangerous. Immediately after
inflation, the inflators in the
steering wheel, dashboard or the
seatbacks are very hot. You could
get burned. Don’ t touch the
internal components of the air
bag storage areas after the bags
have inflated.
