WARNING
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close
to the steering wheel or instrument
panel during air bag deployment can
be killed or seriously injured.
Air bags inflate very fast, and with
great force.
If the driver and front passenger are
not properly seated and restrained
the air bags may not protect you
properly, and could cause serious or
fatal injuries when it inflates.
(1) Before driving, adjust the driv-
er’s seat as far back as pos-
sible while still maintaining
complete control of the vehicle.
(2) Before driving, adjust the front
passenger seat as far back as
possible.
(3) Make sure all vehicle occupants
are always properly restrained
using the available seat belts.
(4) With seat belts properly fas-
tened the driver and front pas-
senger should sit well back and
upright without leaning against
the window or door.
G28G157A
WARNING
(5) Do not sit on the edge of the
seat, or lean head or chest close
to the steering wheel or instru-
ment panel. Do not put feet or
legs on or against the instru-
ment panel.
(6) Place all infants and small chil-
dren in the rear seat and prop-
erly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint sys-
tem.
The rear seat is the safest for
infants and children.
G28G176A
WARNING
(7) Infants and small children should
never be unrestrained, stand up
against the instrument panel or
held in your arms or on your lap.
They could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision, includ-
ing when the air bag inflates.
They should be properly seated
in the rear seat in an appropri-
ate child restraint system. See
the“Child restraint”section of
this owner’s manual.

When the impact sensors detect an impact
of sufficient frontal or side force, an auto-
mated circuit ignites materials in the infla-
tor to generate gas and inflate the air bags.
The air bags deployment produces a sud-
den, loud noise, and releases some smoke
and powder, but these conditions are not
injurious, and do not indicate a fire in the
vehicle. People with respiratory problems
may feel some temporary irritation from
chemicals used to produce the deployment;
open the windows after air bag deploy-
ment, if safe to do so.
The air bags deflate very rapidly after
deployment, so there is little danger of
obscured vision.
The time required from the sensors detect-
ing an impact to deflation of the air bags
after deployment is shorter than a blink of
an eye.
CAUTION
Air bags are inflated at an extremely
rapid speed. In certain situations,
contact with inflating air bags can
result in light cuts, bruises, and the
like.
G28G242A
Driver’s and passenger’s front air
bag system
EG29C-D
The driver’s air bag is located under the
padded cover in the middle of the steer-
ing wheel. The front passenger air bag is
contained in the instrument panel above the
upper glove box.
The driver air bag and the front passen-
ger air bag are designed to inflate at the
same time even if the passenger seat is not
occupied.

WARNING
(1) The side air bags are designed to
supplement the driver and front
passenger seat belts in certain
side impacts. Seat belts should
always be worn properly, and the
driver and front passenger
should sit well back and upright
without leaning against the win-
dow or door.
G28L029A
WARNING
(2) The side air bag inflates with
great force. The driver and front
passenger should not put their
arms out the window, and
should not lean against the door,
in order to reduce risk of seri-
ous or possible fatal injury from
a deploying side air bag.
(3) Do not allow any rear seat occu-
pant to hold onto the seatback of
either front seat, in order to
reduce risk of injury from a
deploying side air bag. Special
care should be taken with chil-
dren.
WARNING
(4) Do not place any objects near or
in front of the seatback of either
front seat. They could interfere
with proper side air bag infla-
tion, and also could cause injury
if thrown free by side air bag
deployment.
(5) Do not place stickers, labels or
additional trim on the seatback
of either front seat. They could
interfere with proper side air bag
inflation.
(6) Do not install seat covers on
seats with side air bags. Do not
re-cover the seats with side air
bags. They could interfere with
proper side air bag inflation.
